--- Comment #1 from Adam <sharpzq4...@gmail.com> ---
After further timid attempts to use Kate regularly with what appeared to be a
risk of the corruption, I spotted something.

This may be entirely a result of Kate's reaction to right-clicking being
different than what I have become accustomed to.

To copy text, I can click and drag as usual.  Then when I right click, I get a
drop-down menu *without any relocation of the cursor* and I select copy.

However, when I paste, I have never been aware of the need to place the mouse
cursor at the place where I intend to paste.  What happened today is I had the
mouse cursor about 10 lines lower then where the text cursor was, and I right
clicked *and did not notice the text cursor move* and when I selected paste, it
was obvious that the text went to an unintended location in the document.

If nobody else experiences unexpected pasting, then this could be filed as a
feature request.

I am used to gedit/pluma and mousepad editors where right-clicking never
relocates the text cursor, and I would like (at least) an option to set this as
my preference so I can use Kate without this subtle yet annoying difference.

Something to note: even within Kate, this behaviour is inconsistent.  When text
is highlighted, the location of the mouse does not change anything when
right-clicking.
