Copy & paste from Konqueror to thunderbird does not work at all

[ThiloPfennig]

Binary package hint: konqueror

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
konqueror-kde4:
  Installed: 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.0.3-0ubuntu2 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Usually all my Copy&Paste works, But I found out that copying from Konqueror and pasting into Thunderbird does NOT work. Pasting into GNOME DOES work, as well as into Firefox. But in konqueror: no go - with any mechanism (menu, middle click or Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V)

I run standard GNOME enviroment, btw.

I can confirm that I have the same problem. The only difference is that I can use the middle mouse button to paste into thunderbird, but I cannot use paste using Ctrl-V or from the Edit menu. What I copy from Konqueror can be pasted into other applications.

I have tested this using
konqueror 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1 together with 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (both in Hardy)
and
konqueror 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu2 together with 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (in Intrepid)

I have not tested if this problem occurs with some other programs too.

Does this still happen in KDE 4.2 or 4.3?

Hi Thilo,
Thank you for having taken the time to report a problem with Ubuntu and Thunderbird. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

You made this bug report in 2008 regarding Thunderbird and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?

Or, if it still might be a problem, it would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 274459

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I can confirm that this bug is not happening with Konqueror Version 4.14.16 and Thunderbird 52.8.0 (64-Bit)

Thanks for the update, Thilo. I will close the report now.
Take care and have a great day
:)
