Actually, I'm using Firefox 0.8. If there is any more information you like, just let me know.

I've noticed that it seems to happen if I select the text from another window and just paste it in with my middle mouse button. If I type it in normally, there's no problem.

Typed:

sub foo {
    bar();

    baz();
}

Pasted:

sub foo {
    bar();
                                                                      
+                                          
    baz();
}

This probably has nothing to do with the problem you're having, but whenever I cut text out of a terminal window, there's always trailing spaces, so when I paste into something else, it sometimes messes up the format. So I often paste into Vim first, and remove all the trailing spaces before cut n pasting somewhere else (and I nearly always have a Vim window open).
