There seems to be a problem with gnome terminal, the clipboard and wrapping. Say I have a very long line in a script, long enough to wrap in the terminal when it is displayed with less. Say I want to execute just that line, however long it is. What I am accustomed to doing is grabbing the text, as is, into the clipboard, going to another gnome terminal, pasting it in, and executing it. The line is handled correctly, i.e. the wrap in the display is not preserved. This is the way X has done it as long as I can recall. What I see on F7 is that the line is broken into two (or more) lines at the wrap point(s). Thus the line is broken and will not execute (or executes incorrectly, which is worse). This is the way Windows' command.com and cmd.exe do it. How do I get back the proper, X, handling? -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
