Description Boyan Anastasov 2008-02-21 16:45:43 UTC
Description of problem:
When try to mark some text konsole is crashing. The backtrace is attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Konsole from kdebase 4.0.1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mark some text with double click or drag.
  
Actual results:
Konsole is crashing.

Expected results:
Marking the selected text and copying later somewhere.

Additional info:
This kde 4.0.1 is the first kde 4 release I'm testing, so I can't be sure what
version have the problem. The strange thing is that on another PC with the same
version of kde the problem does not appear.

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:

Thanks!  We'll continue to track it there.
