Is this a standard Qt context menu option?

I think so. I tried some applications in the qtdemo on linux, and I can see the select all option in the context menu for all the editable component.

Sorry, WebKitTools recently got renamed to Tools.  There has been some discussion of modifying svn-apply to be able to fix patches during apply, but until that happens we need to fix this patch manually to apply to Tools instead of WebKitTools.

I have mixed feeling about this patch. I am affraid that will cause existing apps to have the item "select all" two times in their menu.

Yi, would you mind checking the code of Konqueror, Rekonq and Arora regarding this?

Sorry for late reply. I tested Arora and didn't see any problem. (Sorry, I don't have KDE env to run Konqueror,Rekonq). Benjamin Poulain, let me know if you think it is still necessary to test Konqueror and Rekonq as well.

I mentioned the problem to the devs of Rekonq. That should be ok.

Lets hope no other big projects rely on this kind of specific behavior so the patch does not cause too many problems.
