From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When I select more than one line in my gnome-terminal, the pasting is not always well done : I got all the content but not with the same number of line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a gnome-terminal 2. rpm -q glibc 3. You should have 3 lines like that : [dnade@enclume]# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.2.92-2 [dnade@enclume]# Select those 3 lines. You may Copy it using the S-C-c shortcut (clipboard stuff...) 4. open another gnome-terminal, and do "cat > /dev/null" 5. Paste the mouse selection with middle button or with the clipboard stuff (shortcut S-C-v). Actual Results: This is what i got when I paste the clipboard (mouse selection is the same..) [dnade@enclume]# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.2.92-2 [dnade@enclume]# Expected Results: I should have something like this [dnade@enclume]# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.2.92-2 [dnade@enclume]# Additional info: I tried to paste the mouse selection in my emacs and i got the same result.
Nalin this may turn out to only happen in very specific cases but may be a big issue so marking as such initially.
This seems like a BIG issue. :) My notes: I open a GNOME2 terminal and ssh from my Null box to a Red Hat 7.2 machine. On that 7.2 machine I run vim /tmp/foo.txt. I select some text (say contents of httpd.conf) and paste into the vim running on the 7.2 machine. PROBLEM: Although it appears to have pasted properly, all \n's are gone. There are no new line characters.
This should be fixed in 0.8.14 and later. Please grab the vte package from Raw Hide, close all of your terminals, and give it another go.
appears to be fixed. verified w/ vte-0.8.17-1. Closing -> RAWHIDE
