Debian 10: issues with copy&paste of tabular

[Klaus Singvogel <klaus@singvogel.net>]

Hi,

I noticed a strange result, when using copy&paste from one application
to a (u)xterm:

	Every tabular is replaced by one or more spaces when copy&pasting

Examples:

a) Using LibreOffice Writer (6.1.5-3+deb10u4) having a line like:

   a<tab>b

   and copy&paste to xterm, running xxd results in:
   00000000: 6120 620a                                a b.

   Hex 0x20 is space, not tab 0x09

b) Using xterm, opening vim and copying line:
   c<tab>d

   copy&paste to another xterm, running xxd results in:
   00000000: 6320 2020 2020 2020 640a                 c       d.

   7x Hex 0x20 is 7x space, not tab 0x09


This behaviour wasn't the case, when I was running Debian 9 (stretch).

I did a system upgrade from Debian 9 (stretch) to Debian 10 (buster) and
not a fresh install.

Running now xserver-xorg-core and not wayland.

Window manager is LXDE.

Clipboard Manager is is ClipIt (1.4.5)


Is this a bug or can it configured somewhere? Where?

I have no idea which package should I file a bug report?

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
	Klaus.
