Issue with FC4 and konqueror

[Jon Shorie]

Every day, I browse through some news articles and highlight text in the 
article and paste it into Openoffice.

This way I can take a quick look at an article while compiling programs or 
other long operations without going through the trouble to find the article 
again.

If I use firefox, the article will copy with all of its html formatting.  What 
I want is just the text with some line breaks where they are in the original 
article.  I get around this by first pasting the text into kwrite and the 
recopying it and pasting it into the openoffice document.

With the konqueror in FC3 and older, I could just highlight the web page and 
paste it into the openoffice document and it would come in perfectly as just 
text with no enhanced formatting.

When I tried it this morning in FC4 and konqueror 3.4.0-5 which is the version 
bundled with FC4, it does not grab the line breaks any more.

Does anybody have a simple way to accomplish this the way that it used to work 
in fc3?
