Description of problem:
When try to mark some text konsole is crashing. The backtrace is attached.

Konsole from kdebase 4.0.1

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:
Konsole is crashing.

This kde 4.0.1 is the first kde 4 release I'm testing, so I can't be sure what

Comment 4 Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-22 20:24:47 UTC 
Made some tests - created another user, konsole is not crashing. Then started to
move some directories from $HOME/.kde and managed to not crash the konsole when
moved away $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals.
I've attached the file.
Comment 5 Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-22 20:32:38 UTC 
Yes, it looks like this options causes the problem:

[General]
SynchronizeClipboardAndSelection=true

If removed konsole is not crashing.
Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2008-02-22 20:39:53 UTC 
No joy here, and I can toggle that option on/off in klipper, and still can't
reproduce.
Comment 7 Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-22 23:58:17 UTC 
To reproduce it please make sure the option is actually enabled when changing in
klipper, because I couldn't make it from there. Instead I had to edit the file
to make sure it is set to true. I'm not sure but it seems there is some cache of
the optioins if you have other konsoles started. Make sure all konsoles are
closed after changing the option to true and start konsole again. It will crash.
Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2008-02-23 00:39:00 UTC 
Fair nuf, if you've got a reproducible crasher, reporting this to the kde dev's
at bugs.kde.org would be the best way for it to get fixed.
Comment 9 Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-23 10:44:05 UTC 
OK, I've created bugreport there:
