           Summary: Copy&Paste loses tab on line break
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chrislb at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When copy and pasting strings with Konsole being the source, tabs "\t" (and
from my experience probably other whitespace characters) occuring at the end of
a line in Konsole get swallowed.


Testcase

In the following example I print an array of numbers separated by tabs three
times, once at line size 80, then 82 and 84. See what happens when I paste the
output into the bug report:

$ python

>>> b
[u'14', u'12', u'11', u'8', u'8', u'7', u'7', u'5', u'2', u'3', u'2', u'2',
u'1', u'2', u'1', u'1', u'1', u'0', u'0', u'4']
>>> print '\t'.join(b)
14      12      11      8       8       7       7       5       2       3     
22       1       2       1       1       1       0       0       4
>>> print '\t'.join(b)
14      12      11      8       8       7       7       5       2       3      
221       2       1       1       1       0       0       4
>>> print '\t'.join(b)
14      12      11      8       8       7       7       5       2       3      
2  21       2       1       1       1       0       0       4
