If I cut multiple lines from a konsole window, when I paste it into anything else (or even another konsole), whitespace at then ends of lines is lost, potentially ramming words together.

For example, (narrowed to prove the point), if I cut the following text wrapping from the first line to the second:

"Hello my name is "
"David"


When I pasted it, it would be "Hello my name isDavid"

I think the question would be whether Konsole actually *knows* if there is any whitespace at the end of the line.

But if it can, then I agree this would make a good improvement, making Konsole an more practical graphical terminal emulator.

I've been using Mac OS X for a couple of years now, in stead of KDE 3 (on FreeBSD and Linux) and I can honestly say that Konsole is the one app I miss the most.

This has been fixed in 4.2.3 and 4.3.

There is another BKO for a similar issues in Konsole's history.

Comment 3 Ernst de Haan 2009-04-29 15:22:01 UTC

Wow, that's quick!

Comment 4 Dave Flogeras 2009-05-12 23:07:08 UTC

Confirmed after my upgrade to 4.2.3, thank you very much
