2027025 - ClipboardEvent constructor does not set clipboardData

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[David Mulder]

Steps to reproduce:

dt = new DataTransfer();
dt.setData('text/html', '<p>hello world</p>')
ev = new ClipboardEvent('paste', {
      clipboardData: dt,
});

ev.clipboardData.getData('text/html');

Actual results:

returns "<p>hello world</p>" in Chrome, but "" in Firefox

Expected results:

dictionary ClipboardEventInit : EventInit {
  DataTransfer? clipboardData = null;
};

For synthetic events, the drag data store contains the data added by the script that created the event.
