Build ID: 20140722064054
Steps to reproduce:
1) In a terminal enter
echo "Hello \!\nDo you know you are a pretty dinausaur ?" | xclip -i -selection clipboard
2)Paste the text (ctrl + V) in a editable div (with the flag contentEditable="true"). (You can use http://jsfiddle.net/bulat/w3ZFX/ as an example and see it works fine in textarea).
Actual results:
The resulting text was:
Hello ! Do you know you are a pretty dinausaur ?
Expected results:
The expected text was what happen in a textarea:
Hello !
Do you know you are a pretty dinausaur ?
So far i can only reproduce the problem using xclip.
Pastes from applications like vim or firefox are fine.
Chronium handles the pasted text correctly.
I also tried with todays nightly and reproduced the problem (don't have the exact version number now i'll add it tomorrow).

Do you now if this ever worked by checking old Firefox (like back to 3.x) Rels?
Component: General → Editor
Product: Firefox → Core
I do not have any other version to test it but i do not recall a version in which it did work.
btw the nightly version is 34.0a1 (2014-08-04)

Reproduced on Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64, Firefox 39, xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 xsel 1.2.
In particular, this breaks pastes into gmail as reported at: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/aV8bdPFiR24/3Owwd9rSaD0J
Also if I paste on a textarea, then paste into the contenteditable, it works as expected, even though `xclip -selection clipboard -o | hd` says the bytes are the same. Hmmm

I meant: paste on a textarea, then copy from the textarea and paste into the contenteditable

Also, it works with xsel, but fails for xclip.
