161815 - Dragging text from Chimera to desktop creates text clipping with bad linebreaks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 159354

(Camino Graveyard :: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Brian Lee]

When you drag a block of text that you have highlighted in Chimera to your
desktop it creates a text clipping file, if the text you have highlighted has
line breaks the line breaks don't translate properely.

1) heilight the 2 paragraphs at the top of this bug reporting page.

   "Use Netscape's problem report form to report bugs with Netscape 6. Before
reporting a Netscape 6 problem here, you must reproduce it in a recent build of
Mozilla to make sure the problem hasn't been fixed already.

Consider using the bug helper instead of this form. Before reporting a new bug,
make sure you've read our bug writing guidelines and double checked that your
bug hasn't already been reported. Consult our list of most frequently reported
bugs and search through descriptions of previously reported bugs."

2) drag the highlighted text block to your desktop
3) a text clipping file is created on your desktop
4) open the text clipping file on your desktop
5) starting from "Consider using the bug helper..." in the text clipping there
are 2 characters that should be newlines.

Tested with nightly 08/08/02
