Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: klipper
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
$ apt-cache policy klipper
klipper:
Installed: 4:4.1.0-0ubuntu8

I use the shortcut ctrl-alt-v to activate klipper's pop-up list of
recent selections. The usual sequence is something like ctrl-alt-v,
followed by one or more down-arrow keys to find the stored text that I
want to select. With kde3, this worked well with keyboard navigation.
With kde4, there are two new problems:
a) If the mouse pointer happens to intersect with an item in the klipper
pop-up list, klipper selects that item from the list. When this happens,
I have to up-arrow to the top of the list again, which is cumbersome and
unexpected. The home and end keys do no work, making this more
difficult.
b) Hitting ctrl-alt-v then down-arrow does not select anything. The
down-arrow must be pressed twice in order to select the first item on
the list. In kde3, this extra keypress was not necessary. I think this
is a side-effect of the "filter on typing" feature - not sure if that
existed in kde3 or not. But isn't it possible to jump to the first item
if the first keypress is down-arrow?
