Bug Description

When I select text using mouse then whole content of visible area is copied into mouse clipboard buffer, i.e. if I have konsole window 90x30 then each line will be padded with spaces to have exactly 90 characters. That's weird of course and there was no such behavior in KDE 3.x or in KDE 4.3 - for example Konsole in Ubuntu 9.10 (with KDE 4.3.5) does not have that bug. Don't know if it's related to ncurses somehow as 'clean' shell prompt isn't bugged but any other interactive CLI application is - I've tried mc, irssi, mutt, aptitude yet. Why I'm sure it's exactly KDE - other terminal emulators (xterm, terminator, lxterminal, etc.) don't have that bug also. I understand this bug isn't exactly Ubuntu related but KDE, but unfortunately I have negative experience with filing bugs in KDE bug tracker system - I had no reaction - so hope you can touch some strings there and help to get it fixed.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
