I have seen this some years ago with "joe" and had been correted a long time
ago. IIRC the effect occured when the the text editor had a setting called somthing called
"copy indentaion from previous line" enabled and did not care if the text
entered was comming from clipboard or entered by the user via keyboard. So when you paste
a line with whitspaces at the beginning of the line this happens:
a) on newline/linebreak, the leading whitespaces of the current line are copied to the
next line.
b) the curser is placed after these whitespaces
c) the next line is entered - whith the leading whitespaces
So you end up with this mess.

Attached is example of what happens when
selecting and copying Konsole content
into a plain text file opened with MCedit (F4 in MC). This instance is from
trinity-sb in Bullseye, with window size 132x43, but it's been happening in
various distros and various TDE versions 14.0.12 & up. This has been going on for
months in more and more installations as time goes on.
More and more I find myself needing to redirect output to a file, but it's often
not possible to regenerate the same output needed for sharing in a bug, forum post
or email.
This attachment is from Mageia 8 with mc-4.8.27, a type repeatable only by
thinking ahead, and not running it from a vtty.
