Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 194389

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: Mac, defect)

Description

[Joshua Boger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211

Copy of any web page of selected formatted text and then pasting into any MacOS
X (10.2.3) app (Word, e.g, but I tried several others) loses all formatting in
copied text, including the CR's.  These copies and pastes worked fine in 1.3a,
and I have reinstalled 1.3a to confirm this (can go back and forth from 1.3b to
1.3a and continuen to get the same behavior: 1.3a good, 1.3b bad).





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select formatted text on any web page (e.g., the Mozilla welcome page)
2. Copy selected text using either menu or key shortcut
3. Paste into waiting Mac OSX text program, such as MS Word (10.1.3) or Lotus
Notes 6

Actual Results:  
Text pasted in has lost format, including CR's.  CR's appear as block arrows
with + sign in the middle of them.  Rest of formatting not visible (colors,
style, fonts)

Expected Results:  
Text should look roughly as it did on the web page.
