Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a konsole shell session with a width of 80 characters. 2. echo "n Strategie keine Garantie dafür ist, daß sie angewendet wird. Optimales Lernen kann" 3. In the output of echo, note that the text "Lernen " (including the space) appears at the end of the line, while "kann" appears at the beginning of the next line. 4. Select the two output lines with the mouse. 5. Paste (i.e., middle-click) into any application. Expected behaviour: The pasted text reads as follows: Strategie keine Garantie dafür ist, daß sie angewendet wird. Optimales Lernen kann Observed behaviour: The pasted text reads as follows: Strategie keine Garantie dafür ist, daß sie angewendet wird. Optimales Lernenkann That is, the space at the end of the first line apparently was not copied. This happens to any and all lines ending in a space character. I have confirmed that this is a konsole problem. Repeating the same steps with, say, xterm, does not trigger the bug.
Sorry, missed a character. The Expected and Observed behaviour sections should read as follows: Expected behaviour: The pasted text reads as follows: n Strategie keine Garantie dafür ist, daß sie angewendet wird. Optimales Lernen kann Observed behaviour: The pasted text reads as follows: n Strategie keine Garantie dafür ist, daß sie angewendet wird. Optimales Lernenkann
This seems to be fixed in CVS: #define LINE_WRAP do { \ assert(d <= columns); \ *stream << makeString(m, d, false); \ <---- was 'true' d = 0; \ } while(false) in TEScreen.cpp. When set to 'true' above the behaviour you describe occurs.
Fixed a couple of weeks ago, will be in KDE 3.4 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 90201 ***
