That's not reproducible, can you reproduce it all the time?

This rather sounds like a input-related problem. Since you use a
Hongkong locale, are you by change running an input method, which
might cause this? If you, could you try running without?

Hi!
I can not reproduce this problem with kde 4.4.5

I see this in KatePart 3.4, KDE 4.4.5. The editor deletes the text that is selected when it receives focus. The issue seems to be related to IBus, and with IBus running (with any input method, enabled or disabled) I'm able to consistently reproduce the behavior.

Upstream has a report of this bug, and a possible patch:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248558

Hope this helps,
