250603 - [RFE] Remove line-breaks in URL from clipboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 23485

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

When copying URLs from e-mail clients and other applications and pasting them
into Mozilla or FireFox, a common frustration is piecing together long URLs that
have become chopped up by line-breaks.  Presently, if you have received a URL
that has been chopped up, you have to cut-and-paste the first line, go back to
the URL, copy the second line, click on the URL, click again to de-focus the
auto-selection, and then paste the second part, etc.

It would be nice if Mozilla and Firefox's location bar could accept multi-line
text clipboards and just parse out the line-breaks (even better: any whitespace
characters), reconstituting the URL automatically.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy a URL from Moz, paste into Notepad.
2. Break the URL into two lines.
3. Copy the two lines back into the clipboard.
4. Paste into Moz.

Actual Results:  
Only the first line's portion of the URL appears when pasting into the location bar.

Expected Results:  
It would be nice if the line-breaks were parsed out and the URL reconstituted.
