--- Comment #55 from Felipe Veas <fjveas at gmail.com> ---
Apparently, some applications such as Firefox or Sublime Text tend to write to
the clipboard using CRLF line endings. That wasn't really an issue when
copy-pasting into Konsole since a popup would show up letting us to filter
those extra CR characters if one wanted to.

Then, last year in November, a couple of patches changed the filter behavior
and one of those added the CR character to a whitelist [1], thus disabling the
popup notification for this scenario.

>From a somewhat related bug report [2], a similar issue affected Firefox when
running on Wayland, in which the root cause was Gtk because of the way it
normalizes the clipboard content depending on the mime type [3]. However, I am
not sure if the same applies here because I use X11 instead, so at least it is
not the same situation.

Anyways, like George suggested, it would be nice to have the popup back, even
if it is just a workaround for the time being.

Thanks,

Felipe
