           Summary: when selecting text from konsole, tabs are converted to
                    spaces
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: kde richardneill org


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When copying text from konsole, tabs get converted to spaces. This is a bit of a nuisance when
editing, for example, makefiles. This applies when directly using the shell, it also applies when running a console editor such as nano.

To reproduce:   
 1)  echo -e "This\tcontains\ttabs"
 2)  select text
 3)  paste text
 4)  result: "This    contains        tabs"
 
[This might be intentional; if so, can we have an option to change it?]

Thanks very much - Richard
