Bug#663729: Cut and paste generates white-space and move new-line

[James <james@jasper.nurealm.net>]

Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.7.4-2

Release: Unstable

This is an old, from earlier releases, and continuing problem.  Cut and paste
between, in particular, the konsole screen and a vim session, or the konsole
screen and a terminal command line, into konsole or into any other terminal
emulator, will generate "space" characters after the "new-line", from the end
of the line to the width of the konsole window, and copy these long
"space"-filled lines to the target, effectively ignoring the new-line
character at the end of the lines of the text being copied.  The resulting
long lines of original text and added "space" characters render the pasted
text unusable, in a practical sense, and makes konsole unusable for anyone
using cut and paste from a terminal.
