Subject: copying tab characters under konsole
To: kurt.hindenburg at kdemail.net



Hi,

I'm trying to figure out which part of kde konsole code needs to be changed
to
correctly hangle copying of \t characters via mouse.

Right now doing this:

cat x-file-with-tabs-inside
select with mouse
cat - > y
paste with mouse
ctrl+d

makes that tab characters are replaced with spaces instead of keeping tabs
untouched.

I'm interested in fixing this behaviour in 3.5 konsole (there is going to be
3.5.10 as I see on kde-packager mailing list) but I also tested on konsole
from 4.1 and here it also doesn't work properly.

Could you help me with this issue?

Thanks,

ps. gnome-terminal managed to fix this by doing:
