[Bug 327968] [NEW] konsole crashes on dragging text over Firefox window

[Patrick Horn]

Public bug reported:

The crash is reproducable 100% of the time for me. To reproduce the bug:
- Highlight any text (can be empty lines from a brand new konsole session)
- Drag the selection over a Firefox window. The mouse cursor will change to a drag/box cursor with a plus sign.
- A half-second later Konsole will crash (I also see the cursor flicker to a red slashed circle). It is not necessary to release the mouse button--simply going over a firefox window is enough.

Description:    Ubuntu 8.10
Release:        8.10

konsole:
  Installed: 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1
  Candidate: 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1
  Version table:

The error is a double-free (shows up as a "glibc detected double free or
corruption" error).  So I ran valgrind on it and attached the valgrind
log to this bug.

Should this be reported to KDE or QT developers? Is it possibly a
Firefox bug (though I would imagine that firefox might crash in that
case)?

I am surprised that nobody else has encountered this as I often use
drag-and-drop to move text when middle-click is inconvenient or doesn't
work.
