emacs adds trailing whitespace in comments when copying from terminal
Last modified: 2015-02-17 12:08:45 EST
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.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19.

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.

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.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
