           Summary: Cut and Paste from Konsole loses spaces
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: colohan+kde cs cmu edu


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:                Linux

1.  Put the following shell script into a file:
#!/bin/sh
echo ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////cmd -xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx ./xxxxxxxxxxxx -x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -xxxxxxxxxxxxx -xxxxxx ./xxxxxxxxxxx XX -xx ./xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -xxxxxx 4 -xxxx 4 -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10 -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1 -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10 -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3 -xxxxxxxxxxxxx 128 -xxxxxxxxxxxx -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1

(If this doesn't come through bugzilla properly, retrieve a copy from http://www.colohan.com/tmp/kde_test)

2. Open up konsole, xterm, and xemacs.  Make sure that your konsole and xterm are exactly 80 columns wide.

3. Run the script in both the konsole and xterm.

4. Highlight the script output in konsole with the left mouse button.  Paste it into xemacs using the middle mouse button.

5. Highlight the output in xterm with the left mouse button.  Paste it into xemacs using the middle mouse button.

6. Note that the two pastes produced _different_ results.  In particular, konsole drops a space in the middle of the string, and the result contains the substring "-xxxx4" which is not in the original script.  The text copied from xterm does not have this problem.
