            Bug ID: 387397
           Summary: Konsole should not include font information in
                    copy/paste (or provide option to not include it)
           Product: konsole
           Version: master
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: copy-paste
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jim.duchek at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Konsole copies font/formatting information to the clipboard.  I'm not sure this
is, strictly speaking, a 'bug', but it's a 'feature' I can't imagine anyone
would want from a shell/text console.  It is highly annoying pasting anything
into Chrome/GMail or LibreOffice and getting whatever random monospace font it
tries to use.  (Yes, I can right-click and choose 'paste as plain text', but
why should I not be able to middle-click?)  A shell console should always be
considered plain text and not have associated font information.

This should be turned off for Konsole, or at least made a profile option.
