Hello,

klipper's bug
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102061,
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101068,  (duplicate)
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94330    (duplicate)

still exists and annoys the hell out of anybody who uses Firefox as a browser.
Sometimes, when as you select URLs from within Firefox (or type in the location
bar) klipper goes berserk, shows action popups every couple seconds until you
clear the clipboard history *or* disable the action popups.

If this bug cannot be fixed until SuSE 10.0 release I would suggest to disable
klipper by default, since this behaviour is very unexpected and confusing for
new users.

Thank you!

Jens

the first ones are reported by you and the last one is fixed. So far I haven't  
heared a single other report and the upstream maintainer can't reproduce your  
problem when I read it correctly. And no, we won't disable klipper for 
everyone because you have problems no one else has (really, I know plenty  of 
firefox users)

Well, I'm still having this problem and I would like to find the cause. Is 
there any way I can track this down? 
 
Thanks!
