I have just noticed this with konsole5-22.08.1-1.fc36.x86_64 (Fedora 36).

I have "Copy on select" selected, as well as Trim leading and trailing spaces.
But my issue isn't that spaces are being trimmed, my issue is that entire
chunks of text are (sometimes) being trimmed.

I can reproduce it, but only intermittently. So far, I have only found it to
happen for things that are in the scrollback buffer (i.e. I need to scroll up
(at least) a few lines). Interestingly, the same text when highlighted from the
scrollback vs from the current screen seems to act differently.

I ran a whois command. One of the lines looks like this:

Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited
https://icann.org/epp#clientDeleteProhibited

If I double-click in the URL from the scrollback buffer, it will highlight the
entire URL, but only "http:" will get copied. For the line above which is
almost identical, only "https://" will get copied.

When I ran the whois command again, this time I can double-click (on the _new_
output) and it copies the whole URL (note: I didn't need to scrollback to get
there). If I scroll up, the old output still copies (consistently) incorrectly.

More interestingly, I hit enter a few times, ran some more commands (to push
the "new" output out of view and into the scrollback buffer), and now all of
them copy just fine.
