I just rebuilt tdelibs/tdebase on i686 to confirm - the same crash it is 100% repeatable.
To confirm, all you need to do is open konsole and cat a file or do
something
to give you text to select and copy into kwrite.
Then begin selecting
text
(one or two words at a time) in konsole and then
middle-mouse paste
into line
1 of kwrite. Continue doing this until you get to
the point where the
line
will wrap on the next paste. When you paste the
next selection that
would
cause line 1 in kwrite to wrap - the crash will
occur.
See example:

You will then have to 'terminate' kwrite by clicking the close button
and
wait
for the 'Terminate' or 'Keep
Running' dialog to appear (or 'kill
$(pidof
kwrite)' in konsole)
Any ideas??
When this happens kwrite takes over 80% of CPU, so it looks
like something hit a loop and got stuck:
Here is the top output:
16307 david 20 0
45236 19m 15m R 86.9
2.6 1:10.09 kwrite
That's 86.9% of the CPU when kwrite hangs.
Same thing happens in kate. I'll open a new bug with BLOCKER
when I get back from lunch :(
