Hi:

I do a lot of cut/paste of text from web pages. Until recently I have been 
using Gnome under Linux. Recently I switched to KDE under FreeBSD.

I am trying to replace FireFox with Konqueror, and have run into what appears 
to be a bug.

The best way to explain this is by example.

From the KDE list page, cut/pasted into Kate:

Notice the lack of blank lines in the Konqueror example. Looking at the 
original html, there are TWO line breaks for a blank line.  These translate 
correctly  into TWO "0A" (Line feed) chars in a Firefox cut/paste, but only 
one in a Konqueror cut/paste.
 
I have the same problem in Akregegator, and in Knode news reader. None of 
these apps correctly translate blank lines (double line-feeds). While 
Akregegator and Konqueror display the blank lines correctly on the screen, 
Knode does not. 
 
Is there a global setting in KDE for this issue? Is it a bug? Is there a 
work-around?
 
TIA
Bob
