Bug#913532: reproduction (uncontrolled) of bug 913532
hi konsole maintainer(s), Alison,
SAME BUG:
I also have this bug with konsole on Stretch: sometimes copies to "the
X buffer" (this term assumes a single universal X buffer exists for a
single X session; I'm just guessing) using mouse selection are ignored
when pasting with the mouse.
After selecting text with the mouse within a newly launched konsole,
or selecting in firefox and typing "^C" ; pasting with the mouse in the
buggy konsole works as expected.
I first noticed this a month or so ago. Now is the second instance
of this occurring for me.
WORKAROUND: launching a new konsole gives bug-free behaviour in the
new konsole, as Alison mentioned. (But this is annoying, because I have
a lot of work going on in the buggy konsole.)
DIAGNOSTICS:
$ uname -smrov
Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ dpkg -l |egrep "konsole|klipper"

POSSIBLY RELATED:
On my system, X session copy/pasting with the mouse, especially to
firefox, requires waiting for about a second or so. Otherwise, old
content is pasted. This has been the case for 6-12 months or so.
NON-SOLUTIONS:
Things that do not solve the bug:
* opening a new tab in the same konsole does not solve the bug
* Normally I use aptitude, not apt-get. I tried "'apt-get upgrade' in the konsole window"
in a newly launched bug-free konsole. The selecting/pasting behaviour remained bug-free.
* top menu:
1 Settings
2 Edit current profile
3 Mouse
4 Mouse middle button:
5 switch from 'Paste from selection' to 'Paste from clipboard'
6 Apply
Selecting and pasting as before: same bug.
* top menu:
