Bug ID: 428099
Summary: Select All does not set the selection for
middle-button pasting
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@keelhaul.me.uk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Normally, when text is selected within any application by any means, it is
immediately made available for middle-button pasting. In Kate or KWrite this
happens when the selection is made by mouse clicking or dragging, or by
Shift-movement keyboard selection. However, it does not happen if Select All
is used, either from the menu or Ctrl-A keyboard shortcut.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a text file in Kate or KWrite.
2. Select all the text with Ctrl-A.
3. Either look at Klipper's clipboard history, or middle-button paste in
another window.
4. Copy the text using Ctrl-C.
5. Again look at Klipper's clipboard history, or middle-button paste in another
window.
OBSERVED RESULT
In step 3, the selected text is not pasted or seen in Klipper's history. The
previous selection is pasted.
In step 5, the selected text can be pasted and is seen.
EXPECTED RESULT
Selecting all the text with Ctrl-A should make it immediately available for
middle-button paste.
