Check them for
what? Automatic formatting of what? I don't often do anything that
I know my change any environment settings from defaults. All my Debians use the
same .bashrc. All my openSUSEs and Fedoras use a similar one, and my Mageias use
another that's almost the same. It's happened in the last week on 3
machines'
installations, Mageia, Fedora, and Debian. I'm routinely copying output from inxi,
so this is most often when I notice it happen, but when I copy more than just from
inxi at once it affects all that follows once it begins.
Felix,
Check your /etc/vimrc or ~/.vimrc and make sure autoindent is turned off.
e.g. look for:
" automatically indent lines (default)
" set noautoindent
You can uncomment the "set noautoindent" for vi globally (I do that in my
~/.vimrc). You can also just use the command ': set noai' in vim to turn it
off.
I have seen konsole do this with vim active for --- well forever. It drives
me nuts, so I turn autoindent off and if I need it, just type ': set ai' to
turn it on when editing code.
That is likely the issue if vim is involved, if not -- I have no other guesses.
