            Bug ID: 489881
           Summary: Konsole always inserts an extra line break element in
                    text/html clipboard
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 23.08.5
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: copy-paste
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: thomas.lindroth at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

On X11 systems there are multiple metadata fields associated with each
clipboard, including a "text/html" field for preserving formatting information.
If I select a word in Konsole and run "xclip -out -target text/html" I get a
result like this:
<span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">word</span><br></span>

I only selected the word, not the line break after it, but Konsole still
inserts a <br> line break element after the word.

If I select multiple lines it looks like this:

<span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">line1</span><br>line2<br>line3<br></span>

There are line break elements between each line as expected but also an extra
line break element at the end even though I didn't select the line break.

This is annoying since the flashcard program Anki is parsing the text/html
data. Whenever I copy a single word from Konsole to Anki I also get an extra
line break after the word.

I am running Konsole 23.08.5 with Qt 5.15.14 on X11 Linux.
