I have had this experience with khexedit as well (I think :) Move the cursor
with the arrow keys, then select an area (it will be automatically copied) and
then try to move the cursor again. On my machine that was (tested two weeks 
ago) not a very pleasant experience when klipper was running in the background.
The problem vanished once I closed klipper.
