243648 - Make copy&paste work better in Chatzilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 12460

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

First i think the problem is more than just c&p, but I don't know the Chatzilla
code so good to know what's wrong here.
When you mark some chat log and copy it into the clipboard you get:
xyz	you probably want --enable-crypto as well
	abc	do I need to do a 'make clean' or something?
	abc	I already built once without these options
	xyz	yeah, that'd be a good idea
	abc	thanks guys

So first i would like that Chatzilla also copys the < > around the nicknames
into the clipboard.
And second that the tab key before the 2nd line until the end of the c&p will be
elimanted (also this could be a regression i would need to test with, at least
happens with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a)
Gecko/20040513).

that's not a chatzilla problem.  The < and > characters are inserted with css
:before and :after rules, which mozilla doesn't include in the selection.

Taking a guess that DOM: Traversal-Range might be the correct component.
