Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236546

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

I was recently pointed to the ability to control-click to select table cells,
which produces a nice tab-delimited selection when I copy.  However, table rows
are not honored, which makes it COMPLETELY useless for actually pasting into
something like a spreadsheet (or even a text document).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. control-click to select a bunch of rows in a table
2. copy
3. paste

Actual Results:  
all cell data comes in as one gigantic tab-delimited line

Expected Results:  
should be one line of tab-delimited data per row of the table.
