Description of problem: Copying large text between several different applications fails with Klipper running, mainly OpenOffice, Mozilla, and KWrite/Edit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qt-3.1.2-14 How reproducible: Very. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure Klipper is running. 2. Open a large (>2 pages) document in OpenOffice Writer. 3. Open a blank document in KWrite/Edit. 4. Copy the document from OOo and paste in KWrite/Edit Actual results: Sometimes it doesn't work at all. Most of the time just the first few paragraphs get copied. Expected results: The entire selection should be copied. Additional info: I can't tell a difference whether I use the Copy/Paste commands or select/middle-click. This works fine on a system that was upgraded to KDE 3.2 beta 2 and whatever version of QT that requires. From scanning mailing lists, the consensus seems to be that this is related to QT's 'QClipboard' and was fixed in recent releases. As a workaround, I have disabled Klipper and am using XClipboard. That is not a very viable solution since it doesn't run in the panel and doesn't seem to have support for italics/bold/tabs, etc.
yes, it's fixed in new qt-3.2.3/kde 3.2 Beta2, which is available for FC1 on ftp.kde.org.
I guess the only reason I wasn't using that is that, last time I looked, redhat-artwork didn't work with the newest version. I'll give it a try. Here's a link if anyone's interested: ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/3.1.94/RedHat/Fedora/i386
