From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When renaming a konsole shell session, the rename popup automatically highlights the current name of the session, thus effectively wiping out the contents of the clipboard and replacing it with the current name of the konsole session. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.0.3-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start konsole 2.highlight some text to place it into the clipboard 3.right click in konsole and "Rename" 4. After re-naming, paste the contents of the clipboard somewhere. Actual Results: The original name of the konsole session is placed in the clipboard. Expected Results: The original text that was placed in the clipboard before the rename should be displayed. Additional info:
Can you still see this bug on Fedora Core? Probably it is not a bug but a feature :) Under X Window System you have two clipboards. First named PRIMARY where all text that you just select is automaticly copied to PRIMARY clipboard (overwriting previously selected text), you can paste from this clipboard by pressing midle mouse button. Second named CLIPBOARD (Windows-style) when you have to press Ctrl+C to copy text to this clippboard, and for paste use Ctrl+V So if you "highlight some text to place it into the clipboard" it's copied to PRIMARY and when you rename session name by selecting name and pressing backspace, then selected name will be copied into PRIMARY, then if you "paste the contents of the clipboard somewhere." by pressing midle mouse button you will see last selected text (in this case session name), is this is what you get? But if you "highlight some text to place it into the clipboard" by pressing Ctrl+C then rename session name and press Ctrl+V and you see "original name of the konsole session" this is a bug.
This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state.
Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX.
