1046488 - Copy/Cut/Paste with designMode on corrupts <img> and <a > paths (makes them absolute or removes them)

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Danny Lin]

Attachment: test.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140716183446

Steps to reproduce:

Test platform: Firefox 31.0 / Windows 7 SP1

1. Make a test file with designMode on (or use the attached test.html)

2. Open the file with Firefox

3. Select the content and copy/cut it:

<p><a href="foo.html">foo</a></p>
<p><img src="bar.jpg" alt="bar"></p>

4. Paste in the same page, select the result part and view its source


Actual results:

The pasted content is something like:

<p><a>foo</a></p>
<p><img src="file:///D:/blah/blah/blah/bar.jpg" alt="bar"></p>

The href attribute of the <a> node is missing.

The src attribute of the <img> node becomes absolute.



Expected results:

The href attribute of the <a> node should not missing.

The src attribute of the <img> node should not be changed.

[Danny Lin]

Additionally, href missing of <a> nodes only happens when the file is in the local file system (protocol file://). If the file is on the web (protocol http://), the href attribute will become absolute, as the <img> nodes do.
