Terminal: Copying text still includes white space instead of newlines

[moritzuehling]

Hi everyone,

I thought this was addressed in #2797, but it didn't. It might be a duplicate of #174.

The problem

In short, copying + pasting is very weird with newlines. In some cases, it seems to copy only some of them:

But using clear in the WSL seems to reliably and effectively completely break copying.

It doesn't copy any whitespaces, instead, it copies the buffer as-is.

The same effect seems to occur with PowerShell. Here without a clear beforehand:

And here with a clear beforehand:

System info

The selected console is a standard WSL Ubuntu, as detected by the terminal:

    {
      "guid": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
      "hidden": false,
      "name": "Ubuntu",
      "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
    }

If it's a powershell, it's similar:

    {
      // Make changes here to the powershell.exe profile
      "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
      "name": "Windows PowerShell",
      "commandline": "powershell.exe",
      "hidden": false
    },

Nothing in the config has been changed, besides adding two (unrelated) profiles. In the screenshot, the Windows Terminal was freshly opened.

Version information of Windows Terminal:

Since I wanted to be a bit proactive, here is a small workaround I've written: https://github.com/moritzuehling/WindowsTerminalClipboardFixup

Seems to be fixed in the newest version, closing! Thank you for fixing it ♥
