Details

The Win98 version of the Mozilla browser does not render 
<tr>...</tr><tr>...</tr> tags as separate lines when I 
copy the text to paste it into the Windows notepad" program.

I'm using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311, and 
have to select the "word-wrap" function otherwise I can't see all of the
text because some of the lines are hundreds of characters long.

Here is a sample of the HTML source:

---------------------

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="jobSearchBody" width="28%" align="left" valign="middle">
<b>Ref:</b>
</td>

<td class="jobSearchBody" width="72%" align="left" valign="middle">
CWJOBS/-HA-SULH114794
							</td>
</tr>

-------------------------

In Windows notepad, the pasted text (copied from Mozillas' rendered HTML) is:

--------------------------

KSH) & IIS. financial exp a bonus HACW77 D1004 SULH4794     Ref:    CWJOBS/-HA-
SULH114794     Company:    Huxley Associates - London     

---------------------------

When I use I.E. 5 to view the page, and paste the same text into notepad, I get:

---------------------------

directory, DDNS, WINS & DHCP, SMS, Terminal server, shell scripting (Perl, KSH) 
& IIS. financial exp a bonus HACW77 D1004 SULH4794  
Ref:  CWJOBS/-HA-SULH114794  
Company:  Huxley Associates - London  

----------------------------

This is also how it appears in both browsers as rendered HTML.

Please let me know things progress.

Thanks,

Adrian

Jesse: I'm sure this is the same bug as the one you duped it to, but mjudge is
completely the wrong person and the bug isn't going to get looked at as long as
it's on his list.  The real bug is bug 94176 (on jfrancis' list -- it's a
problem with the way the document encoder creates copy context).  You should
probably dup your bug to that bug as well.

Dup it to the jfrancis bug.
