What Removed Added
Summary Copied 'Follow TCP Stream' text has double-newlines in it Copied 'Follow TCP Stream' text has carriage-return characters, later causing insertion of double-newlines in the pasted text

Comment # 6 on bug 10741 from 
This has to do with carriage returns (\r) character being coped into the
clipboard buffer, and later converted to newline or eliminated in different
scenarios. That's why you see different behavior.

Run this to see this for yourself:
$ xclip -o | hd

One can argue that carriage returns should be included in the copied buffer.
However, carriage return in itself is a relict that survived in http protocol,
and in Unix environment isn't always treated iniformly, and shouldn't generally
be copied into the clipboard.

When user copies and pastes, he most definitely wants textual data, and not the
trailing carriage returns.
