Description Melchior Franz 2003-07-09 10:41:34 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2 libc 2.2.5
OS:          Linux

Select some text from knode's message view and copy it into e.g. vim. You'll see that all
spaces end up as hex 0xa0.

(The same happens if you copy the text to kmail's composer, but you won't notice it there,
because the 0xa0 are again displayed as spaces. But they are consequently sent as 0xa0
and this cause problems with some mail filters.)

Funny stuff... I did note that today too - but I tried to copy+paste text from konqi/khtml into vi (session in the konsole). The space-chars where correct displayed on each KDE-App, but as soon as I try to paste the klipper-content to mcedit, vi or emacs I got those 0xa0's ... paste to kwrite, copy it again and paste then did give the same result. Then kicker's "trayicons" got lost and klipper crashed later. Whatever that was maybe it's related to the bug decribed above?! 
I use kde-devel (from 10/19) too, but wasn't able to reproduce both bugs :(

I can confirm that this also occurs in KDE 3.2.2 in slackware-current

Copying ascii art from knode to kmail results in this problem

(closed by the committer: apparently fixed; not reproducible in knode and khtml in cvs)
