Re: [Zim-wiki] Copy-pasing verbatim text pastes unwanted newline at the end

2013-04-25 Thread Adrian Fita
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.

  Hi.

 I'm using Zim 0.59 on Windows 7.

 So I write some text over multiple lines and then I format it as
 Verbatim with CTRL+T. All good so far. The problem I'm experiencing is
 when I copy-paste whole lines from the Verbatim formatted text. The
 pasted text contains an additional newline character at the end. This is
 very annoying (and possibly dangerous) when pasting in a terminal: the
 newline causes the pasted text to be run immediately without the
 possibility of editing it before.

 I think this is a bug, when I copy the text I don't copy the newline at
 the end of the line because I don't move the cursor at the beginning of
 the next line.

 I hope you understood what I mean, it's kind of hard to explain...

 When you select, is the last line highlighted to the end of the line ?
 If so, you have selected the newline.

 To avoid selecting the last newline, when selecting hold the shift key and
 press the left arrow.
 The highlight should then terminate at the end of the text instead of end
 of line, indicating that the newline is no longer selected.

 Conversely, if you want to ensure that the newline is selected, sometimes
 one must press the right arrow so that the entire line is highlighted.

 Note that many other applications show the cursor at the beginning of the
 next line when the newline is selected.
 Personnally, I think Zim's display is more coherent, although it can be
 confusing at first.

Doesn't work like that on Linux.
What happens if you add a space at the end of the line, then unselect 
the space ?


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 ?

Hm. I just tested in Linux (the same v0.59) and it happens in Linux as well.

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 ?

Selecting with the mouse is the same.
