Extra spaces when pasting into word wrapping editor
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Description of Problem: When pasting text from clipboard into the term when its running a word wrapping editor such as vi or emacs, the terminal tends to add extra spacing at start of line. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Copy text such as the following into buffer: Non-indented * Indented * Indented2 * Indented3 2. In a gnome-terminal window, open 'emacs -nw' or vi, with word wrapping activated. 3. Paste text from buffer into terminal window. (e.g., click middle mouse) Actual Results: Non-indented * Indented * Indented2 * Indented3 Expected Results: Non-indented * Indented * Indented2 * Indented3 How often does this happen? Consistently, whenever pasting text in. Additional Information: gnome-terminal 2.0.1 on Mandrake 9.0, running stock KDE and emacs 21.2.1 or vim 6.1.165 Same steps were tested on konsole, Eterm, xterm, and RXVT using same programs, pasted text, and environment; only gnome-terminal exhibited the issue.
Are you using vte or libzvt?
{bryce@sherborne} ~ (1): rpm -qa | grep vte {bryce@sherborne} ~ (2): rpm -qa | grep zvt libzvt2.0_0-2.0.1-6mdk
I cannot reproduce this as of 2.6.0. Can anyone? I think Nalin changed something related to this...
Hmm. Bryce was using zvt, and we don't actually use it any more. vte does not have this issue, so I'll close this.
