> Any ideas, insights, or clues?? thanks much for your time There is a copy & paste history (klipper). You can configure kwrite not to autocopy on mouse selection. My kword (1.1pre-beta2) does not autocopy on mouse selection by default and I found no way of configuring that. So it behaves like a Windows program in this respect. I don't whether you are using a different version or if that has changed in a newer version. Furthermore I find that autoselection thing pretty handy. Everytime I have to copy&paste something in Windows, I forget C-c. Then I'm quite stunned because nothing gets inserted on C-v. :-) Jan.
