Created attachment 796361 [details] Example of .c file to test the bug Description of problem: When I select text from a source file with emacs-nox or emacs -nw if I select commented code the text selected includes non-existant trailing whitespace. This happens with various types of source code, I've tested with .c and lisp. Also, I tested with no .emacs file so this basically happens on a clean emacs installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs 24.3 fc19 x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start emacs -nw 2. open a .c file with comments 3. select lines that include comments, those lines are selected until the end of line. Lines without comment will only be selected until the last character (i.e. no trailing whitespace). Actual results: Expected results: Lines with comments should only be copied as any other line, until the last character. Additional info: I think this has something to do with the way emacs does syntax highlighting, because if you rename the .c file to .c_old this bug doesn't appear.
I've found out this is happening when semantic mode is turned on.
I meant, that this also happens with semantic mode on all lines, not just comments. Sorry for the confusing comment.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
