Your subject header says, "Subject: Re: firefox pasting using xclip replaces line ends with spaces" I am reporting that here, because your email body does not say what the problem is, and there's no telling how the Subject header will be altered as the thread progresses. I cannot reproduce the symptom you describe in the Subject. I tested BOTH directions: copying from firefox and pasting with "xclip -o" into a terminal, as well as creating an HTML page with a textarea widget, and then pasting into that with the mouse, after "xclip -i". In both cases, the pasted output retained its newlines. The actual HTML I used for the test: <html> <title>Text area test</title> <body> <textarea rows="5" cols="80"></textarea> </body> </html> My terminal is urxvt (rxvt-unicode). Relevant package versions are indicated below. ii firefox-esr 68.2.0esr-1~deb10u1 amd64 Mozilla Firefox web browser - Extended Support Release (ESR) ii rxvt-unicode 9.22-6 amd64 RXVT-like terminal emulator with Unicode and 256-color support ii xclip 0.13-1 amd64 command line interface to X selections
