This has been going on too long to remember, probably
more than a year now, but at
least since 14.0.13. I haven't been able to create a reliable reproduction
scenario. Typically, I start a session that has remembered Konsole (at 0,0) with a
plain shell tab and an MC tab. With quite some frequency, I wish to copy and paste
the first command of the session, and its output, that I have entered in the shell
tab, into some text file in MC. The problem is that swiping the mouse from bottom
to top to select that output commonly blanks the first Konsole line, which is
usually something that produces multiple lines of text output, such as inxi, so
that when pasted, the first line of the paste is also blank. The instant case
causing me to write this is in Mageia 8/14.1.0, but it IIRC it happens in Debian,
Fedora, openSUSE & *buntu also.
Reported:
when Konsole freshly opened, mouse select process blanks first line

Got no bugmail from creating the report, so FTR:
Initial summary:
when Konsole freshly opened, mouse select process blanks first line
Basic information
TDE version: R14.1.0, 14.1.1pre
Distribution: Debian, Fedora, Mageia, openSUSE, Ubuntu
Hardware: amd64
Steps to reproduce
Exit session with black text/light background Konsole window remaining open
Login
Dismiss KTip window
Run a/some command(s) from <up> history in Konsole that produce more text output
than fits the window without scrolling
Select/swipe command output from bottom all the way to include first character drawn
since login
Select copy from menu
Actual behavior:
All text on top row that was black on light background (the command line itself)
disappears into the black selection background
Pasted into a text editor, the top row of the original command line is missing
Expected behavior:
All text put in the window by executing the command shows as selected
Pasted into a text editor, all the text that had appeared before making the selection
is completely pasted
