Try enabling "Synchronize contents of the clipboard and the selection" in the "General" tab of your Klipper configuration dialog.
That doesn't help. For example I just went to www.topgear.com in Konq but it displays nothing as it's not a konq friendly site, so I copied the URL from the address bar and opened FireFox to paste the address there. However there's nothing in the clipboard to paste. Open another Konq and hit paste and it's there. I don't know why KDE apps and not KDE apps can't talk to each other a little better. Matthew

Works fine here with middle click paste. -- printk(KERN_WARNING "Multi-volume CD somehow got mounted.\n"); linux-2.2.16/fs/isofs/inode.c

How did you copy?

I did not have that problem: - double click on the address in the locationbar, paste with middle mouse button in Firefox's locationbar: works - ^C on the address in the locationbar, paste with ^V in Firefox's locationbar: works KDE 3.5.2, Firefox 1.5.0.2 Cheers, Leen

Hmmmm... Matthew. I did exactly as you describe above and everything works fine. www.topgear.com displays **perfectly** in Konqui (3.4.0). And if I copy the URL from Konqui it pastes into Firefox and then Firefox (1.5.0.2) shows the website. Everything works exactly as one would expect. Gil

Gil I've always had this problem, some sites work in Konq and don't in FF and vice versa which is why I use both. The copy n paste method is as described as other users on here. Just doesn't work. I'll try a re-install but it had this problem out of the box going back to Suse 9 (ran Windows on desktop before then) and I've had fresh installs up to 10 and have installed latest KDE revisions as they've come out.

Very odd. While I have never been to a website that failed to display in Konqui but did display in Firefox (or visa-versa), at times I have noticed that certain sites display differently in Konqui and Firefox (or display badly in one but not the other). For example, up until about a month ago my own website graphics had all sorts of display problems in Konqui, but looked fine in Firefox. Turns out that my previous Webmaster (who knows only Windoze and used the always-problematic Front Page) had coded the site in a manner that was not compliant with modern standards, and which caused display problems in some browsers. Carl Hartung figured out the problem and he recently recoded my site, and now the graphics display correctly in all browsers. :o) So I can see where the way a site is coded could have an effect (perhaps a profound effect) on how it's displayed in Konqui vs Firefox. But your problem doing something as simple as a cut-and-paste of an URL between browsers isn't (??) a website coding issue, especially when you've heard from several other SuSE users none of whom have the same problem you've described. Since Konqui seems to be the starting point of your problem maybe you could uninstall and then reinstall Konqui. Don't make any configuration changes to the reinstalled Konqui -- just try it with all defaults, and at least for the moment accept all cookies just so as not to insert any potential complications. www. topgear.com should display perfectly. If after a default reinstall you still can't cut-and-paste an URL from Konqui to Firefox (using either "edit-copy" and "edit-paste" or "ctrl-c" and "ctrl-v") then something truly bizarre is going on. Let us know. Thx. Gil

top gear works fine in konqi for me. And, I can copy and paste the url from this site to FF. tried several other sites as well, no problems. I do occasionally have oddness with clipboard in linux, though (using SUSE10 now) ... for example, just now, I had the url from FF copied to clip (or so I though) and when I did middle click, I got some text from (who knows when) and when I did right-click and paste in the konqi url field, I got something else. then, I went back to FF, copied the topgear.com url again, and this time when I pasted, I got the expected topgear.com url text. Weird. And I know I have seen this before, where it seems like there is more than one clipboard area, and sometime paste yeilds something you did not expect. hmmm

There are two cut 'n paste methods, /each/ with its /own/ buffers: - keyboard: usually ^C for cut and ^V for paste - mouse: { double/triple click r-button or select text with r-button } and click m-button for paste Cheers, Leen

just to add to the list responders so far, it works for me also. this part is what I love about Linux, to copy anything to the clipboard, you just highlight it with your cursor. And to paste it, just MMB - or middle mouse button click where you want to paste it. Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v also works - same as M$.

Wow! I had no idea that capability was there! Maybe I'm the last kid on the block to know about this one, but that's really slick.

That functionality has been a part of X since at least '92. A couple more nifty features for stuffing the clipboard: - Double-click highlights a word. - Triple-click highlights a whole line. - Drag text from one window to another. E.g., double click on a word here-- date for instance--, then use mouse-3 (commonly both mouse buttons) to drag that word to a terminal window, then release it. Enjoy. -- "This world ain't big enough for the both of us," said the big noema to the little noema.
