           Summary: Text selection in konsole scrollback does not include
                    entire width
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.8
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: aaronw at doofus.org


Created an attachment (id=68892)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=68892)
Picture of konsole with selected text copied to the clipboard

Version:           2.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

My current window is 104x52 and when I scroll back in the history and select
text using the left mouse button only the first 72 columns are pasted despite
showing all of the text.

It doesn't make a difference if I middle click or use copy/paste, all
characters beyond the first 72 columns are dropped.

I included a snapshot picture of what I have selected from my konsole session,
which is a gcc command I wish to replicate.

The problem is somewhat intermittent and comes and goes.

When I paste the output I get the following:

mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc  -g  -Os   -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sectioT_BASE=0xC0000000
-I/home/aaronw/projects/tot/sdk/bootloader/u-boot/incl-nostdinc -isystem
/nfs/sdk/2.2.0-414/OCTEON-SDK/tools-gcc-4.3/bin/../li3.3/include -pipe 
-DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -G 0 -mabicalls -fPIC -mabi=B -mabi=n32 -fPIC -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -fno-stack-protector
-I/homeder/u-boot/arch/mips/include/asm/arch-octeon   -o octeon_boot_bus.o octe

As can be seen, it is cutting off the right side.  In my scrolling information
I have it set to 100000 lines.  It makes no difference if I first click "Clear
Scrollback and Reset" from the view menu or not.

If I do not scroll back to select text then there is no problem.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Konsole session which is at least 80 columns wide.
2. Generate some output on the screen where lines of text wrap.
3. Generate more output until you can scroll back in the konsole session (i.e.
several ls commands).
4. Scroll back and select multiple lines of text
5. Attempt to paste those lines of text

Actual Results:  
Only the first 72 characters of each line are output. All characters beyond
column 72 are lost.

Expected Results:  
I expect all of the text I select to be pasted.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.0-1.2-desktop
Compiler: gcc
