Bug ID: 443642
Summary: Selection clipboard no longer works with Shift + click
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: 5.86.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since today, selecting text with the Shift key no longer populates the
selection clipboard, which forces me to use the clipboard with Ctrl+C and
Ctrl+V.
Since Ctrl+C does not affect the selection clipboard, this makes it difficult
to conveniently copy a section of text to multiple locations.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate or KDevelop with some long text.
2. Click a point in the text.
3. Clear Klipper.
4. Hold Shift and click another point in the text.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing is copied to any clipboard. Text is just selected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Selected text is copied to selection clipboard.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The click, Shift+click workflow still works in any other application, and many
other ways to populate the selection keyboard in KTextEditor still work.
This includes:
* Select with click-drag-release
* Select with click, Shift + navigation keys
* Select with double-click or triple-click
* Select with double- or triple-click-drag-release
But it doesn’t work with: (I can not confirm that these worked before)
