I think the "triple click" selects the entire line, with the carriage return placed at the end. Gnome terminal probably displays each line with an hidden return at the end of each line. With a copy/paste we can catch a carriage return practically anywhere. The confusion comes from that in many case you will not know if you have one with you or not.
For example, in a html page, if you want to copy the command >echo "hello", you will not copy a carriage return if the html code is like this :<div>echo "hello"</div> but you will have it in this case: <div>echo "hello" echo "I am a other text line"</div> And in the both case, you'll see a end of line: echo "hello" echo "hello" echo "I am a other text line" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706829 Title: Command automatically execute after a copy paste -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
