Description Philippe Fremy 2003-05-04 16:15:35 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

In the file attached, if you select the three lines and copy/paste them into an editor, you will get the lines bof and hop indented with one space. The line coucou is indented properly.

Hmm. Seems to work fine for me in HEAD, though.

Comment 5 Sebastian Sauer 2004-11-29 20:42:45 UTC

Still reproducable with KDE 3.3.1

confirmed in 3.5.2

Comment 7 Michael Leupold 2008-04-06 06:19:16 UTC

Confirmed in trunk r793971.

Comment 8 Harri Porten 2010-02-28 14:58:16 UTC

Tracked it down to the RenderText objects holding the leading whitespace after setText() calls DOMStringImpl::collapseWhiteSpace() which again converts the newline into a space.

Comment 9 Samuel Brack 2011-01-01 19:42:59 UTC

Confirmed in 4.5.4, updating version.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
