[opensuse] Latest 11.0 kde factory updates 4.3.1-178, konsole hangs after running apps - Weird behavior
Listmates, After today's kde4 factory updates for 11.0, konsole has begun to hang after running apps. If I have multiple tabs open and I run an X app (locally or from a remote host), konsole will hang like it is confused as to its focus and will not accept any further input until your change focus to another application and then "change back" to konsole. You can click the mouse on konsole all day long when the hang occurs and konsole will not accept any more input or respond to any keystrokes until you leave konsole and come back. This happens 30-40 percent of the time. Konsole has been pretty bulletproof since the 4.3 beta days so I'm surprised to see this pop up. Regression? Another oddity associated with this is the mouse will cause konsole to spit gibberish out, but still will not restore the focus and proper console operation. This has only occurred once since the update, but I suspect it is a symptom of the underlying problem: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/konsole-4.3.1-178.jpg What you see at the bottom of the screenshot is the result of pressing the left, middle and right mouse buttons. What's strange is the character change after you switch mouse buttons and switch back even though you are pressing the button you pressed before, you get something new. Has anyone else seen this weirdness following the kde factory updates today? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Another probably related problem is the text jumping around in kwrite when you try to select toward the bottom of the screen. In the following screenshot, I was trying to select the last two lines shown and the contents of the kwrite windows was jumping up and down by 3-4 lines in rapid succession making it impossible to select the text. I finally gave up and just used shift+down- arrow to finish the selection: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/bugs/kde4/kwrite-4.3.1-179.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
