[Konsole-devel] [konsole] [Bug 343726] Konsole is copying text I don't want

--- Comment #18 from pdf <kde at obfusc8.org> ---
This has bit me so many times.  It's quite dangerous if you need to paste
something from konsole into an application that expects a fragment (which seems
to be everything), and some business logic processes the test - now you've
broken something.  To be perfectly honest though, I can't fathom why it would
ever be a good idea to copy rich text from the terminal anyway - generally I
specifically *don't* want any extra wacky formatting cruft being added to my
terminal output when I copy it, regardless of where I'm going to paste it.

All that said, if the world expects something else, it's not practical to
suddenly break the world because you're technically right (I don't know or care
who is technically right in their implementation(s) here).

So, if Konsole is going to continue copying as rich text (I wish it wouldn't),
it doesn't matter whether or not Konsole is technically right, this behaviour
should be reverted to producing a fragment.
