I think it is okay to display whitespace characters in a better way like Kai Uwe's Patch does without adding a configuration option. I think however it should always be possible for a user to copy a text without klipper modifying it. If we would ignore this I think later, when distros are equipped with this patched version of klipper, users will file a bug because of this. *The main purpose of this patch was to fix the attached bug, namely to prevent klipper from adding only whitespaces to the clipboard history.* If the user copied the text (or code) with tabs and spaces I think it is okay to display it using special chars, but not to "stumble" the text using the power of simplify. :/ - Patrick ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
