When you copy text from the TinyTERM window, trailing blank space you may have selected gets copied as spaces. For example, if you select a block of text that looks like this on screen:

Copy the text from
TinyTERM emulator
into the Notepad.

the second and third lines are padded to the length of the first with spaces.

This is due to the way TinyTERM displays text. Each character on screen has its own “cell.” When you select a block of text, you’re actually highlighting a set of cells. Those that have no text in them are treated as spaces. So when you paste the text into any application, those spaces get pasted as well.
