1632183 - Result of ` SimpleTest.promiseClipboardChange`/`SimpleTest.waitForClipboard` differs from using Ctrl+c for flavor="text/html"

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Mochitest, defect, P3)

Description

[Mirko Brodesser (:mbrodesser) -- not reading bugmails currently]

Happens for instance when click-selecting multiple rows in a table, using Ctrl+click.

When using Ctrl+c the "text/html" flavor corresponds to:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><table><tbody><tr><td id="x">x</td><td id="y">y</td></tr><tr><td id="u">u</td><td id="v">v</td></tr></tbody></table>

When using SimpleTest.promiseClipboardChange the "text/html" corresponds to:

<table><tbody><tr><td id="x">x</td><td id="y">y</td></tr><tr><td id="u">u</td><td id="v">v</td></tr></tbody></table>

That is, the <meta> element is missing. In order to be consistent with production results, it should be contained.
