User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010917
BuildID: 2001091712
When copying text from the browser to an external program and the text contains
an 8-bit character (for example "å"), the copied text will contain two newlines
appended to the selected text. (No newlines are in the desired/selected text.)
Note this this will NOT be a problem if the text is copied from an input field.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select this "å" with the mouse, but not the whole line
2. Copy it to an external program (shell window, emacs)
Actual Results: å<newline><newline>
Expected Results: å

Sorry, it seems this happens only on some web sites, such as
http://www.svt.se/texttv/in.html, but not http://www.dn.se

This must be a dup?? I always get 2 extra linefeeds regardless of what i copy
first. It's been happening for the longest time. Very annoying when pasting to
terminal emulators, when commands sometimes go wrong since the paste will
"execute" whatever due to the extra linefeeds. Currently seeing it with
2001101108 linux.

I'd bet money (okay, not a lot of it) that this is yet another dup of the very
popular 98572, and that you're only seeing this when copying from preformatted
blocks. Check that out, and mark it a dup if it's true about the preformatted
blocks (the two examples given in this bug -- bugzilla comments and the
referenced external page -- are).
The text in main area of reporters URL is <pre> formatted. That is the only
place the character "å" appears in cleartext on the page. Resolving as dup of
bug 98572.
