Copy/paste function on Konqueror and Opera

[rhomp2002]

Funny thing going on with Konqueror and Opera.

I have Firefox marked as my default browser. When I read an email that links to the browser, if I click on the link it comes up in Konqueror, not in Firefox as it should. No idea why.

Then if I try to copy from either Konqueror or Opera using the Ctrl-C, I cannot copy anywhere. When I use Ctrl-C with Firefox, it works fine. The same thing with paste (Ctrl-V). It works fine with Firefox but does not work at all with Konqueror or Opera. Even within Konqueror or Opera it does not work if I try to copy within the same browser. This function works fine in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn but not in Kubuntu Feisty Fawn. Makes no sense at all. Is there some switch I need to turn on to make it work?

In the previous versions of Kubuntu, Opera and Konqueror worked the same as Firefox did with no problems. This has started only with the new version.

I suggest you to install the latest KDE 3.5.6, I did that and some annoying problem gone.

KDE 3.5.6 is the version that is installed. I just installed this from the current release a couple of days ago. That is why I am mystified that the problem is there.

To set Firefox as the default browser,

sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox

Use Klipper (clipboard tool) to assist with the copy/paste function. Remembers what you copied even if you closed the program you copied from.
