            Bug ID: 263084
           Summary: vt newcons: Paste pads from EOL to end of screen with
                    whitespace characters
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com

Another annoying behavior of vt newcons is that it pads the sections after the
last character of every line to the end of the screen line with spaces.

This makes necessary to manually clean up the paste result, removing that empty
whitespace, which can get quite a lot of work if there has been much stuff
being pasted.

So I'd highly appreciate if that could be fixed, so the behavior is similiar to
what one is used from x terminals and good old SC console.
