Unwanted line feed

[FrankM]

When i copy some text from an terminal i get this

[frank@quartz64 ~]$ lspci -vv

00:00.0 PCI bridge: Rockchip Electronics Co., Ltd RK3568 Remote Signal Processor (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])

	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx+

	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-

	Latency: 0

If I remember correctly, this was not the case in the past. Can I set this somewhere?

This is how the result should be

[frank@quartz64 ~]$ lspci -vv

What does it look like in the composer when you first paste it? Screenshot would be helpful

Example.

@frankm looks like it's actually pasting differently into the composer, so I don't think it's a NodeBB change. Maybe your browser or terminal emulator changed.

Oh Ubuntu drives me crazy

I switched from Linux Mint Cinnamon to Ubuntu 21.04. I think since then I have the problem.

But I have found a solution. Select and copy text and paste it in NodeBB with the middle mouse button. Problem solved. But, something is wrong with Ubuntu....

Correction, this error is a Wayland problem. I have now tried this in xorg session, no error.

Explanation

Normally, when i copied text from an terminal window and paste it into an post i will do four spaces before i insert the text. This works for me for a long time.

After i switched to ubuntu & wayland i got the problem with unwanted line feeds.

I do not know what triggers the problem

Solution

I will insert the text and use the code icon to format the text. That worked for me. Hope this helps someone with a similar problem
