Created attachment 659335 [details] What is being marked Description of problem: - Running Konsole (logged into another machine, not sure whether relevant) - Run dmidecode generates a large amount of text that scrolls away - Hunt for a block of text and mark it by left-clicking. If the konsole has a large window, this looks like the attached image. At this point, one would expect only the actual text to be copied. However: - Paste the block of text into an editor. Whitespace is added to the text as if the original data had had whitespace-filled lines completely filling the console window. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): konsole-4.9.3-1.fc17.i686 How reproducible: Intermittently. Trying to reproduce.
This is already reported upstream at bugs.kde.org where it belongs.
Still occurs in Fedora Spherical Cow F18. with konsole-4.10.3-1.fc18.x86_64 But https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188528 says: New profile option "Trim trailing spaces" ... And it's there! But off by default.
