When I copy an ordered list and paste it into another application, the numbers
are changed to a pound sign.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page with an ordered list (I'll attach a test case shortly)
2. Copy the entire ordered list
3. Middle-mouse paste it into another application

Actual Results:  
#  First
# Second
# Third


Expected Results:  
1. First
2. Second
3. Third

Works fine in latest nightly, sorry.

Hmm here's pasting the testcase with a current trunk CVS, Linux:

#  First
# Second
# Third

and pasting it into composer paste bullets, not numbers. So something is funny.

I'm seeing this behavior again on Linux build 20030624.

Still present in FireBird 20030703.

Open the test case
* Select two or three items, copy, paste -> you see #
* Select all (Ctrl+A) -> you see the numbers

It seems if the text selection does not include <ol> and </ol>, pasting won't work

Hi,

I have tested this issue on the latest Firefox (45.0.1), latest Nightly (48.a01 - Build ID  20160323030400) build but I could not reproduce it. I'm pasting the test case results here:

    First
    Second
    Third 

It seems that now the "#" and numbers are no longer pasted, but instead an empty space is copied. I am not sure if this is a issue. Can anyone share an opinion about this?

Thanks,
Cosmin.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, 4 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

Going to close this bug as incomplete, as the originally reported behavior is gone.
