Yanking text copied from terminal window turns line breaks in ^M's


From: Steve Revilak
Subject: Yanking text copied from terminal window turns line breaks in ^M's
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2006 10:37:50 -0500 (EST)

==================================================================
When copying text from a Terminal window and yanking it into an emacs
buffer, line breaks are represented as ^M characters.  After yanking,
one must use

  M-x replace-string Ctrl-Q Ctrl-M <RETURN> Ctrl-Q Ctrl-J <RETURN>

To correct the line breaks.

Steps to reproduce:

 1) From Terminal.app, run a shell command to generate some output.  
    Something like `ls -l' is sufficient.

 2) Select the output of ls -l.  Press Cmd-C in Terminal to copy
    the text to the clipboard

 3) In Emacs.app, use Ctrl-y to yank the ls -l output into a buffer
    (a text-mode buffer is fine)

 4) In the text buffer, copied text appears as a single line, with ^M
    characters where there were linebreaks in the ls -l output.

This behavior was also present in emacs 22.0.50.1 (built on
4/11/2006).
