`colorcolumn` adds trailing whitespace to any multiline copy-pasted content #332

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add `set cc=80` to your ~/.vimrc
2. Open any document (e.g., ~/.vimrc)
3. Copy-and-paste code from there (e.g., into the same file)

You'll find that each copy-and-pasted line has trailing whitespace, namely the 
space from the last character in a line to the color column.

This only occurs with vim, not gvim.

There are many ways to copy-paste code.

Using the normal methods ("yyp" for example) does not suffer this for me.

I'd guess you use the "modeless selection" which allows you to select all sorts 
of non-text, including line numbers and foldtext.

Can you confirm? In what way did you copy the line?

I can't seem to reproduce this. Please be more specific how you are 
copy-pasting.

That user is probably highlighting with their mouse to copy text to the desktop 
clipboard.  I say this because this just happened to me.

Exactly.

I think in that case, this is unavoidable and one better uses the explicit "+y 
command to copy and paste to the system clipboard.

Closing as invalid in this case.
