Qt > 3.1 is not out yet, is it? Even if you want Qt2/KDE2 behaviour there is no need to "set the selection from the clipboard". The fact that klipper does so triggers bugs - the bug is in the misfeature, not in QTextEdit or other apps which simply set something into the clipboard. IMHO you can get the "KDE standard clipboard behaviour" by setting the clipboard from the selection (i.e. "Copy" is a no-op), no need for the other way round (which leads to wrong deselections). This is the heart of the issue here: would this feature be enough to get a qt2/kde2-like behaviour or not? - -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ Contributing to: http://www.konqueror.org/, http://www.koffice.org/ Get the latest KOffice - http://download.kde.org/stable/koffice-1.2/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9wAyD72KcVAmwbhARAjiHAJ0cirkzMRlMT8lXTjKatol5obweoQCfbGUB T6KCKCqEKvHGdM//4fwrlYs= =UqSo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
