Here is another sample paragraph that generates redundant space at specific place.

URL: http://blog.dom390420.com/?p=1338 (near the middle part of the page)

If you copy the whole paragraph "隱頭花序，雌雄同花，花極微小，... 即形成肉質果實。" to Microsoft Word 2010 or LibreOffice Writer 3.4.1, the last sentence will generate an extra space before the last Chinese character, i.e. "雌雄花在花托內部授粉後即形成肉質果 實。"

No redundant spaces are generated when copying to Notepad, Notepad++ v5.9, or BabelPad 6.0.0.1 .

danny: Why do you changed the component back to Firefox ?
The product is basically only the Userinterface of the browser.

I just tested this on OS X Lion and could not reproduce it. This could possibly be a Windows-specific bug.

Seems that all CJK characters are effected. Tested on latest Nightly 21 on Windows 7 x64 zh-TW.

Marking this bug as dupe of Bug 333064.
