Emacs in an xterm, from time to time.
Yeah, I knew about that one, cutting and pasting from any full screen program running in a terminal emulator tends to be wrong. Tab characters are usually the first causalities, along with long lines. :-( I'd propose to encourage people submit bug reports against xterm/emacs/terminfo/termcap/curses if they care much about the issue. I think it might be possible to improve the situation alot.
Doing this is a better solution, as then cutting and pasting would be fundamentally more reliable in that environment.
Thanks for the pointer.
