Bug ID: 410951
Summary: Pasting text from Firefox adds bogus whitespace
characters at the end of every line / sanitize pasted
text
Product: kate
Version: Git
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Kate and KTextEditor built from current git master on Manjaro
I'm unsure whether this is a Firefox bug, a Kate bug, or some combination of
the two. But regardless, this has started happening recently (in the last week
or two).
1. Open Firefox (68.0.1)
2. Copy any text on https://kde.org, or any other webpage
3. Open Kate (git master)
4. Paste the text into a new document Kate
The text is pasted with bogus whitespace characters after every line. This is
extremely irritating for my typical development workflow which involves copying
and pasting a lot of text from my web browser. After saving and re-opening the
affected file, the bogus whitespace characters are gone (so I cannot attach an
example file, sorry).
This does not happen when pasting text from Chromium into Kate, or when pasting
text from Firefox into Gedit; only Firefox -> Kate.
Because the problem is not seen when pasting text into Gedit, I am assuming
Gedit automatically trims off bogus whitespace characters in pasted text during
paste operations the way Kate seems to during save operations. Perhaps Kate
should perform this sanitization during paste operations as well.
