Bug ID: 503630
Summary: KDE clipboard converts tabs to spaces
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.27
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: dwa...@ramey.info
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a file /tmp/test containing a literal tab character between
characters, such as:
a<tab>b
Use cat /tmp/test | hexdump -C to confirm the file contains a 09 byte (tab)
between the characters and that the terminal is not converting tabs to spaces.
Display the file using cat /tmp/test.
Select the displayed line with the mouse.
Paste it using right-click into:
another Konsole window, or
an X11 terminal
Expected Result:
The pasted text includes a tab character.
Actual Result:
The pasted text contains spaces instead of a tab.
Additional Notes:
While the tab to spaces conversion is my primary concern, I don't believe that
the clipboard should ever modify the copied text explicitly configured to do
so. The default behavior should preserve the original data exactly, including
whitespace characters like tabs.
