Package: bash
Version: 3.2-5
Severity: important
Lines wider than the screen often contain an embedded newline character
at the right screen border. This makes copy and paste of these lines
impossible and makes using the shell very frustrating.
These links explain the issue in detail and why the upstream gnome
maintainers do not believe this is a VTE bug:

reopen if I'm missing something.
