There's more than one possibility here (including bugs, of course). For instance, the header may have been written on top of some existing blanks, and the optimization takes that into account. For xterm, the spaces that are copied via mouse-selection are from explicit writes to those positions since the last clearing operation, e.g., erase-display, erase-line. -- Thomas E.
