Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.24
Severity: wishlist

When we use dpkg-reconfigure and we cut and paste into a text buffer
with the mouse while holding <shift>, can the edges of the screen not
become when pasting, e.g.

lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqu Configuring resolvconf tqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
x                                                                                            x
x This package contains the infrastructure required for dynamic updating of the resolver     x

But instead

Configuring resolvconf

This package contains the infrastructure required for dynamic updating of the resolver

as what would happen when one cuts and pastes from a browser instead
of curses.  If this is a curses problem, please reassign this wishlist.

I addressed this in a different way, a while ago:

                            Patch #225 - 2007/3/24

     * improve  select/paste  between UTF-8 and Latin1 xterms by adapting
       the  translations  from  [379]patch  #185.  Extend that to include
       Unicode fullwidth forms FF00-FF5E. Also modify select/paste of DEC
       line-drawing characters in Latin1 mode to use ASCII characters.
