Bug#583232: konsole: Konsole copies tab characters as spaces
Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.4.3-1
Severity: normal
Konsole copies tab characters as spaces. This makes pasting
tabularly-formatted data into OpenOffice difficult.
To reproduce:
echo -e "a\tb"
Copy the resulting output
run xxd, and paste the resulting output on the console (into xxd's
standard input)
[bloom@zuni CORPUS_huliu]$ echo -e "a\tb"
a b
[bloom@zuni CORPUS_huliu]$ xxd
a b
0000000: 6120 2020 2020 2020 620a a b.
(I would hope to see xxd give the output
0000000: 6109 620a a.b.
)
