Bug ID: 410951 Summary: Pasting text from Firefox adds bogus whitespace characters at the end of every line / sanitize pasted text Product: kate Version: Git Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: n...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Kate and KTextEditor built from current git master on Manjaro I'm unsure whether this is a Firefox bug, a Kate bug, or some combination of the two. But regardless, this has started happening recently (in the last week or two). 1. Open Firefox (68.0.1) 2. Copy any text on https://kde.org, or any other webpage 3. Open Kate (git master) 4. Paste the text into a new document Kate The text is pasted with bogus whitespace characters after every line. This is extremely irritating for my typical development workflow which involves copying and pasting a lot of text from my web browser. After saving and re-opening the affected file, the bogus whitespace characters are gone (so I cannot attach an example file, sorry). This does not happen when pasting text from Chromium into Kate, or when pasting text from Firefox into Gedit; only Firefox -> Kate. Because the problem is not seen when pasting text into Gedit, I am assuming Gedit automatically trims off bogus whitespace characters in pasted text during paste operations the way Kate seems to during save operations. Perhaps Kate should perform this sanitization during paste operations as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
