[Konsole-devel] Bug 90201: copy / paste removes whitespace if it is the last character of wrapping line

[Greg Walker]

hi,
   I figured i shouldn't file a new bug report, since this is the same 
bug I'm currently getting, so I'll just give you some additional 
information, since the status is listed as "unconfirmed". I'm using 
fedora core 3 (kde 3.3.1), and if I us the mouse to "copy" a string from 
a konsole window (a string that has wrapped to the next line, but has 
trailing spaces at the end of the first line), the resulting "paste" 
operation strips out the spaces. This has proven to be a major bug for 
me, resulting in improperly named files (files with spaces in the name).

This is a reproducible bug, on three separate machines running fedora 
core 3, with KDE 3.3.1. A friend running the latest slackware with KDE 
3.3.1 has the same problem. I have rebuilt the "kdebase" package with 
your listed patch to "TEScreen.cpp", and this has corrected the problem. 
So far, I'm not aware of any other problems from this fix. I looked at 
the 3.3.2 source, and this patch has not been applied. I hope this will 
be patched in the next release.

I've been a longtime KDE user, but I know that GNOME 2.8.0 on my system 
does not have this bug, so I might be forced to switch. Please inform me 
of which KDE release will likely have this problem corrected. Thanks.
