Bug ID: 408048 Summary: Selection by words is sticky in Midnight Commander Product: konsole Version: 18.12.3 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: andy...@mail.ru Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Somewhere between Konsole 18.04.3 in Kubuntu 18.10 and 18.12.3 in Kubuntu 19.04, selecting text with mouse in Midnight Commander running in Konsole or Yakuake became sticky. This is super annoying. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Konsole, run "mc". 2. In Midnight Commander, open a text file and start typing. 3. Select a piece of text by pressing Shift, Left mouse button and moving the mouse. Notice that selection is adjusted by character, you can start and end selection in the middle of a word. 4. Select a word in the text by pressing Shift and double-clicking Left mouse button on the word. The whole word is selected. 5. Try again to select a piece of text, like in step 3. OBSERVED RESULT In step 5, moving the mouse selects text by words, not by characters. You can try starting the selection multiple times, every time it will select text by words. It is not possible to restore the original behavior of selection by characters, except by Left clicking somewhere in the text. EXPECTED RESULT 1. Shift + Left click should always start selection by character. 2. Shift + Double left click should always start selection by words. The two rules should be true no matter what kind of selection had been done before.
