Description Vadym Krevs 2014-10-08 15:05:03 UTC

1. Create a text file that contains more than 8k of text, e.g.,
i=0; while [[ $i -lt 90 ]]; do 
echo 123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789 >> /tmp/xxx.txt; 
i=`expr $i + 1`; 
done

2. Open the file in Kate and select al text via Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C

3. Go back to console and type the following line, hit Enter
cat <<EOF >>/tmp/yyy.txt

4. Press Shift-Ctrl-V to paste into konsole.
5. Type EOF.

6. Compare the /tmp/xxx.txt  and /tmp/yyy.txt files in any diff viewer.

They are not the same.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
xxx.txt and yyy.txt are identical.

This is probably a kernel limitation/bug, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539312

The problem is that this never used to happen in konsole before I reported the bug.

Hi, I'm from the Bugsquad team and we are triaging bugs on Konsole today.
Thanks for reporting the bug.

Application Version: 17.12.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5

I followed the steps and diff showed the files are the same.
Is this still happening on your system?

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback Vadym.
I'll leave this as RESOLVED because it seems fixed.
On the mean time, we should wait a developer to see the bug and decide on its status.
