I think it makes sense in some way. If the curses programs (don't exactly know what they are, but I have an idea) fill up the spaces of the commandline until the end of the terminal then after every line that is not as wide as the terminal has loads of spaces at the end. Imagine an 80 character wide terminal and you type ls and select that line (assuming a 0 character prompt) and have no space stripping, then you have 78 spaces in your selection buffer. I can imagine that that is also annoying :) Anyway, thanks a lot for your help guys! Looking forward to the SVN version.
