No difference. Selected a different font and a different size.
Also, it is only text copied from konsole. If I bring up a gnome-terminal and copy text
from it, no problem. Also, if I go to klipper and find an entry that came from konsole
and pick "edit" and copy from that window there is no problem.
As a long-term KDE/Tbird user on Fedora and EL-clone platforms I have
always found that pasting into Tbird has been glitch-prone. I'm afraid
I have never investigated thoroughly - it's always been possible to
produce the desired text, but not always at the first attempt. Is your
problem really new?
