Cut/paste corrupts long lines
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:51:18 EDT
Description of problem: gnome-terminal inserts extra carriage returns into pasted text if there's whitespace in the right-hand column when a long line wraps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.1.4-1 vte-0.10.10-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. In an xterm with 80 columns, run the command: echo "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789" 2. Select the output of the above command, paste it back into a terminal. 3. Repeat with an 80-column gnome-terminal. Actual results: echo 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 imladris /home/dwmw2 $ 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 -bash2: 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789: command not found Expected results: imladris /home/dwmw2 $ echo 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 imladris /home/dwmw2 $ Additional info:
Argh. I changed the command used to 'echo "echo...' but forgot to update the report. Should be obvious enough what I meant anyway. echo "echo 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789" (no newlines, only single spaces).
This works now, I think.
