Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages copying text in konsole treats the empty space after a newline as spaces. at least in kde3 it used to be so that it automatically selects up to the end of the line if the selection goes past the last character. But now in kde4beta2, the selection past the last char copies the spaces, not just the newline. i and a few others were wondering if this is a feature of bug, but figured it must be a bug =).
I think this has been fixed and there are other bugs dealing with spaces in the history.
