I'm assuming KDE 2.x here...
Do you have a little red & white clipboard symbol in your KDE panel?
(Bottom right corner of the screen if you haven't moved the panel
around.) This is a little app that remembers the last couple of things
you selected. You'll be able to get back the text you're after with it,
and then paste it into the empty field.
You can also just avoid selecting the original text in the field by
single clicking and using backspace/delete to get rid of it. In some
apps you can use Emacs key combinations to manipulate the text in fields
(Netscape and Mozilla do, for example, don't know about the KDE apps).
Try 'CTRL-a CTRL-k' (move to beginning of line, delete to end of line
respectively) after single clicking on the text field.
