problem.

copy a character from text, you will see this problem. This not specific to
surrogate. 
For example, load a gb2312 text to browser, and copy one character to composer. 

I am not exactly sure if the <pre> is a problem or not. reassign to composer
group for 
feedback.

I don't know what a surrogate character is, but maybe Joe does, and this sounds
like it's related to document encoder copy context anyway.

reassign back to shanjian
ylong and shanjian, I think the reproduce procedure is not clear enough in this bug
ylong- can you be very very specific how to reproduce this, for example, open
which url, select which text and 
shanjian- can you be specific how you paste into the composer with non surrogate
text. ylong- can you reproduce the problem shanjian stated?

Copy/Paste gb2312, gbk or gb18030 extension A characters from browser to Composer:
1. I have a test page:
http://babel/testdata/Double_byte/SimpChinese/gb18030/gb18030Yahoo.html
2. Highlight a gb2312, gbk or gb18030 extension A character(s), and Copy it into
clipboard.
3. Open Composer, change charset to gb2312 or gb18030 by go to View | Character
Coding.
4. Paste the character(s) in step 2 into Composer.
 
Result:
The character(s) can be pasted correctly.

Following the steps above but copy/paste surrogate character(s) into Composer,
then you will find the extra <pre> tag has been added.

This problem here is only for surrogate.

I was using 07-18 1.0.1 branch build.

Yuying, check the html source in your test case, and you will see that those
surrogate are within a <pre> block, while others are not. Removing those <pre>
tags should resolve the problem.
