           Summary: mouse text selection: _sometimes_ copying a lot of
                    unexisting spaces instead of newline character at the
                    end of line to the X buffer

selection - I mean simple mouse selection with copying to X buffer

It occurs only with a big number of selected lines (somewhere above one hundred
lines).
Some of them are copied to X buffer with a lot of space characters instead of
one newline character.

Way to reproduce (for example):
$ for N in `seq 1 1 51` ; do echo -e "$N\ta\t\tb\t\tc\t\t\t\t\n\tzz\nasd\tbzk\n
bg" ; done
$

After that select the output with your mouse and paste it by the middle mouse
button into any text editor (nano, for example).
Then select it and paste it again.
Look at the results.
There will be a number of lines, that do not end with just \n, but have a lot
of spaces before it.

Instead of nano you can use just something like that:
$ cat <<EOF | wc -c
and paste text from X buffer to cat.
Number of characters will differ between two selections of the same text.

PS sorry for my poor english
