[Konsole-devel] Need your idea about the two bugs with highest votes

[Jekyll Wu]

188528 - konsole's history adds spaces to end of lines when copying 
text(804 votes)

     This report seems to track two related problems. The first 
problem(extra trailing space when copying from history) seems fixed by 
the commit in comment #37. The second problem (extra trailing space when 
copying lines with colored background)seems a regression caused by that 
fix.

     Based upon my understanding of the comments, there are 3 patches 
proposed for fixing the second problem:

     1). the patch by Kurt in comment #67.
     2). the patch by Orion in comment #80, which reverts part of the 
commit in comment #37
     3). the patch by tomasb incomment #94

     I did not test patch #1, but the code looks more like workaround 
than solution and some guy says it breaks other behaviors.

     I did test patch #2, and as tomasb has pointed in comment #96, that 
patch also removes real trailing spaces. I think that would only make 
the situation worse.

     I also tested patch #3. The result seems fine, but I do not like 
the idea of distinguishing real space and filling space through a new 
RE_CLEAR_CHAR flag. After all, those two kinds of spaces are rendered in 
the same way in the display. Their difference is meaningful only when 
being decoded into text stream. So I guess a better choice is to add new 
filed such as "_isPlaceHolder"(false by default) into the Character 
class for distinguishing.

     What is your idea ?

     I didn't read all comments carefully because the problem seems  
fixed. Should this report be closed now?
