More info, and one correction:

Was wrong about the KDE version, it's KDE 3.2.2, I'll try compiling KDE 
3.2.3 this evening to see if that helps.

Okay, to reproduce, hold down shift while moving arrows to select text.  
While still holding down the shift-key, press the ctrl to start hitting 
ctrl-c, release the shift-key and press c.  Result is that the selection 
is not copied, and the first arrow-key movement afterward is swallowed.  
Looks as though something is incorrectly tracking shift/ctrl state 
resulting in a rather touchy editing mechanism where one hand getting a 
little faster than the other results in a complete failure of the 
operation (with select-and-cut/copy being a rather common operation for 
a programmer's editor).

Enjoy yourselves,
Mike
