           Summary: Trailing spaces not copied when copying highlighted
                    text in Konsole
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lilwong at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I work with fixed width files a lot and I often have to copy out the results of
a fixed width output into Kate from Konsole. If a line consists of the string
"sdad asdas dasd asdasd asdasdas dasd asdasd adsd                             
" and I copy out that chunk in Konsole, I find that the trailing spaces have
been trimmed.

This causes issues 'cos I need character-accuracy when evaluating fixed width
text fields.

This may be a personal preference thing, but after considering the (probably)
use cases of a terminal emulator, I thought that it shouldn't be. 

In any case, is it possible to expose an option of how the copy function should
work? 

Thanks!
