Re: [Zim-wiki] Copy-pasing verbatim text pastes unwanted newline at the end
This happens when selecting individual lines as well, not only multiple lines. And I select until the end of the line with Shift+End. Pressing Shift+Right arrow to unselect the last newline actually unselects the last character, so the selection doesn't contain the newline char at the end of the line. But the pasted text contains a newline. Thanks. -- Fita Adrian On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 1:33 AM, andré and...@laposte.net wrote: Adrian Fita a écrit : Hi. I'm using Zim 0.59 on Windows 7.

Or alternately, select the lines you want by placing the cursor at the beginning of the line, using the down arrow to select the line(s) wanted, then backspacing to the last caracter of the line ? (Just in case the shift-end code was still present when you used it.) Or again, using only the mouse to select the text, without using shift-end ?

Steps to reproduce: 1. write some lines in a page 2. select the lines and press Ctrl+T (or select Verbatim from the Format menu) 3. Hit the Home key and copy-paste until the end of the line from the Verbatim-formatted text in another text editor. The pasted text contains a newline at the end What happens if you add a space at the end of the line, then unselect the space ? It happens even when I have space at the end and select until the end of the line, then unselect the last space: the pasted text contains a new line at the end. The newline is even present when I only select a part of a line. But I just figured something: if I don't select from the begining of the line, the newline is not pasted. So it seems to be related with the begining of the lines in Verbatim-formatted text. Or alternately, select the lines you want by placing the cursor at the beginning of the line, using the down arrow to select the line(s) wanted, then backspacing to the last caracter of the line ?

May I suggest opening a bug report for this ?
