Description b52 2004-08-04 02:25:04 UTC
Hi,
when i try to copy paste something with mouseclick into a gnome-terminal it displaces the pastet text. Its realy annoying.
For example:
Original in mozilla:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <curses.h>
#include <signal.h>

static void finish(int sig);

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int num = 0;

    /* initialize your non-curses data structures here */

    (void) signal(SIGINT, finish);      /* arrange interrupts to terminate */

    (void) initscr();      /* initialize the curses library */
    keypad(stdscr, TRUE);  /* enable keyboard mapping */
    (void) nonl();         /* tell curses not to do NL->CR/NL on output */
    (void) cbreak();       /* take input chars one at a time, no wait for \n */
    (void) echo();         /* echo input - in color */

    if (has_colors())
    {
        start_color();

        /*
         * Simple color assignment, often all we need.  Color pair 0 cannot
	 * be redefined.  This example uses the same value for the color
	 * pair as for the foreground color, though of course that is not
	 * necessary:
         */
        init_pair(1, COLOR_RED,     COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(2, COLOR_GREEN,   COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(3, COLOR_YELLOW,  COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(4, COLOR_BLUE,    COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(5, COLOR_CYAN,    COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(6, COLOR_MAGENTA, COLOR_BLACK);
        init_pair(7, COLOR_WHITE,   COLOR_BLACK);
    }

    for (;;)
    {
        int c = getch();     /* refresh, accept single keystroke of input */
	attrset(COLOR_PAIR(num % 8));
	num++;

        /* process the command keystroke */
    }

    finish(0);               /* we're done */
}

static void finish(int sig)
{
    endwin();

    /* do your non-curses wrapup here */

    exit(0);
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After pasting into gnome-terminal:

                        (void) nonl();         /* tell curses not to do NL->CR/NL on output */
                            (void) cbreak();       /* take input chars one at a time, no wait for \n */
                                (void) echo();         /* echo input - in color */

Comment 1 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 04:40:54 UTC
Right, so it keeps adding the tabs, this belongs upstream - we need to post up there when we can, or you can reporter.
Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 04:48:50 UTC
in what app do you paste it ?

    ???????


I pasted it in vim, which was running in a gnome-terminal
Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 05:15:29 UTC
cause nano does it alright, but i'm no big man for the console editors, so i don't know much about that. Could it be vim/g-t specific ?
Comment 5 Aaron Walker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 06:52:24 UTC
I can reproduce this in nano, here, so it's definitely not a vim-specific thing.
Comment 6 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 10:46:56 UTC
so what version of gnome-terminal are you guys using ?
Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 10:47:18 UTC
and vte version as well (sorry forgot) ?
Comment 8 Aaron Walker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-06 11:45:02 UTC
gnome-terminal-2.6.1
vte-0.11.11
Comment 9 b52 2004-08-06 12:09:21 UTC
I use vte-0.11.11 and gnome-terminal-2.6.1
Comment 10 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-30 23:46:44 UTC
Does this only happen in gnome-terminal?
If not: Did you turn off auto-indent in your application?

in vim type:
<ESC> :set paste
or
<ESC> :set noai

in nano (which i don't use) the help page says:
M-I   toggle auto-indent
Comment 11 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-17 14:11:29 UTC
this looks like the console editor doing auto-indenting on top of the tabs cut and pasted from the clipboard. i don't think its a gnome-terminal issue. works fine for me in both nano and vi which doesn't have auto-indent turned on.
