I've noticed that when I do a X mouse copy of text that mutt displays in a gnome-terminal that there is whitespace padding out to edge of the terminal. If I run the less pager command in a gnome-terminal I don't see this whitespace pad/fill behavior. Is there a way I can configure mutt or my gnome-terminal to disable this whitespace fill behavior?
Hopefully Thomas Dickey will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this has to do with the use of bkgdset() so that clrtoeol() will set the proper background color all the way to the end of the line.
Consider the case where you have a different default background terminal color than what the user has specified in 'color body ...'. Without the use of bkgdset(), you'd see the wrong color at the end of each line.
xterm has the 'trimSelection' option for this purpose, but gnome-terminal doesn't seem to support it.
