Bug still there in KDE 4.1.0 :-)

I mostly run into this problem when analyzing medium-rate network traffic with \
tcpdump and/or tshark. I keep it running until I see something suspicious, then I \
scroll up (output is now a stable subset from the scrollback buffer) and try to \
select various things, e.g. the host's address with the mouse (go to the beginning of \
the address, hit LMB, move to the end of the address, release LMB). If between \
pressing and releasing the mouse button the running program has sent another line of \
output the window output is still the same (the position in the buffer moved, but the \
visible part is still the same) the beginning of my selection is moved one line down.

Example:

Line 1      ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Line 2      ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

I start selecting at C in Line 1 and move forward to Z (selection would be \
CDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ). However, when during that selection a new line is outputed \
the selection reads ....Z\nABC, the old beginning mark is moved one line down and is \
now the end mark.

Setting the scrollback buffer to unlimited fixes the problem as well.
