konsole crashes on dragging text over Firefox window

[Patrick Horn]

The crash is reproducable 100% of the time for me. To reproduce the bug:
- Highlight any text (can be empty lines from a brand new konsole session)
- Drag the selection over a Firefox window. The mouse cursor will change to a drag/box cursor with a plus sign.
- A half-second later Konsole will crash (I also see the cursor flicker to a red slashed circle). It is not necessary to release the mouse button--simply going over a firefox window is enough.

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

The error is a double-free (shows up as a "glibc detected double free or corruption" error). So I ran valgrind on it and attached the valgrind log to this bug.

Should this be reported to KDE or QT developers? Is it possibly a Firefox bug (though I would imagine that firefox might crash in that case)?

I am surprised that nobody else has encountered this as I often use drag-and-drop to move text when middle-click is inconvenient or doesn't work.

I can't seem to reproduce it in KDE 4.2.0. Maybe it has been fixed already.

If this is still an issue in KDE 4.2, please reopen the bug. As far as I can tell this is fixed in KDE 4.2.
