What text editor do you use? I can't reproduce it, saved files are same. Tried in kwrite.

Comment 2 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2009-08-25 16:27:08 UTC

Sorry, it looks like a konsole bug.

I used vim.  In gvim and vim running in yakuake cut and paste from the source view to vim correctly produces the same output.  In vim running in konsole, the paste is corrupted.

[At the prompt type:]
$ vim t1
[Inside of vim type:]
:set paste
i
[paste from the source view]
[Hit the ESC key]
:wq
[At the command prompt again]
$ vim t2
[Inside of vim again]
:set paste
i
[paste from the source view]
[Hit the ESC key]
:wq

diff -u t1 t2

kdebase-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586
kdebase-libs-4.3.0-1.fc11.i586
vim-enhanced-7.2.148-1.fc11.i586
qt-4.5.2-2.fc11.i586

Comment 3 Jaroslav Reznik 2009-08-26 12:42:35 UTC

Still I can't reproduce it even in Konsole using Vim. I am going to close it some WORSFORME. If you find the way we can reproduce it, feel free to reopen this bug.
