Copying consecutive spaces formated with css whitespace style "pre" collapses
spaces.These spaces render correctly (several in a row in the html file display
several in a row in browser), but when copied to a text editor are colapsed to
just one. Multiple spaces inside the <pre> tags copy correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load a web page with this code <span style = "white-space:pre;">Blah    
Blah</span>
2.copy the Blah <spaces> Blah
3.paste to text editor

Actual Results:  
The multiple spaces are collapsed to 1. This is not how they appeared in
rendering.(rendering is correct)

Expected Results:  
The multiple spaces that apear in the html, and in the rendering, should be
copied to the text editor.
