Thanks for reporting, and sorry for late response. I tried but failed to reproduce the reported problem. The reported problem might be related with bug 188528, or another side effect of my immature commit in comment #108 . Could you please check whether the problem also exists in konsole-2.7.x(the version included in KDE SC 4.7.x)?. That would help to know whether it is an old or new bug. Also, try to use another colorscheme(for example: WhiteOnBlack) and check whether that makes any difference. I never saw this problem in 4.7 and earlier and the problem is rather intermittent, though when it happens it is quite repeatable, even in new konsole sessions. Note that at times I can get a lot of scrollback data with long lines of text since I do a lot of compiling with 100,000 lines of scrollback. Are you using fixed-size scrolback or unlimited scrollback? I'm asking because I have recently noticed another regression which is present only when using fixed-size scrollback. I use a fixed scrollback buffer, typically 10000 lines. I have also seen it where the text I select is not under the cursor but off a few lines. Git commit f2151c5e29f13722bf00ba0fba31573211fc2e09 by Jekyll Wu. Committed on 17/05/2012 at 13:53. Pushed by jekyllwu into branch 'master'. Memory-based history should save and restore the 'isRealCharacter' field Apparently I didn't take a close look at the implementation detail of memory-based history when I added the 'isRealCharacter' flag. That missing information causes some wrong behaviors randomly when using memory-based history.

Created attachment 68892 [details] Picture of konsole with selected text copied to the clipboard Version: 2.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux My current window is 104x52 and when I scroll back in the history and select text using the left mouse button only the first 72 columns are pasted despite showing all of the text. It doesn't make a difference if I middle click or use copy/paste, all characters beyond the first 72 columns are dropped. I included a snapshot picture of what I have selected from my konsole session, which is a gcc command I wish to replicate. The problem is somewhat intermittent and comes and goes. When I paste the output I get the following: mips64-octeon-linux-gnu-gcc -g -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sectioT_BASE=0xC0000000 -I/home/aaronw/projects/tot/sdk/bootloader/u-boot/incl-nostdinc -isystem /nfs/sdk/2.2.0-414/OCTEON-SDK/tools-gcc-4.3/bin/../li3.3/include -pipe -DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -G 0 -mabicalls -fPIC -mabi=B -mabi=n32 -fPIC -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fno-stack-protector -I/homeder/u-boot/arch/mips/include/asm/arch-octeon -o octeon_boot_bus.o octe As can be seen, it is cutting off the right side. In my scrolling information I have it set to 100000 lines. It makes no difference if I first click "Clear Scrollback and Reset" from the view menu or not. If I do not scroll back to select text then there is no problem. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Konsole session which is at least 80 columns wide. 2. Generate some output on the screen where lines of text wrap. 3. Generate more output until you can scroll back in the konsole session (i.e. several ls commands). 4. Scroll back and select multiple lines of text 5. Attempt to paste those lines of text Actual Results: Only the first 72 characters of each line are output. All characters beyond column 72 are lost. Expected Results: I expect all of the text I select to be pasted. OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.0-1.2-desktop Compiler: gcc
