Summary: KDE Connect SMS message entry restrict copy-paste
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect

Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Hi !
SUMMARY
1. Context
I'm a fan of KDE connect and use it every day : it *almost* completely replaces
old desktop IM applications (pidgin / kopete). A use case I have is to
copy-paste some text from my desktop into messages, using the old X11 way of
doing copy/paste : select the wanted text, it's automatically copied into X11
copy/paste buffer, paste it somewhere using the middle mouse button click.
2. Paste problem
When I try to paste a previously selected text, I have to be very precise in
where to paste it even if I want to paste it at *the end of the line*. Indeed,
int these cases, all I should have to do is to position my mouse pointer
somewhere after the end of the text in the entry zone, click on the middle
button and that's all. However the entry zone seems to be artificially
restricted to the already input text plus a few pixels more for the cursor. So
when I try to paste text after that not only the mouse pointer doesn't display
as a text entry pointer, but also the paste doesn't occur.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Connect SMS to send a message to someone
2. Copy some text by just selecting it in a terminal or wherever you want
3. Try to paste it beyond the currenly input text in the message entry zone
OBSERVED RESULT
The copied text is not pasted.
EXPECTED RESULT
The copied text should be pasted at the end of the currently input text (or
fill the entry zone if nothing has been input yet).
