304455 - Mozilla adds unneeded \n when copying <td><div>text</div></td> tables to clipboard

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Serializers, defect, P5)

Description

[Vit Timchishin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.6

If TD in a table does not directly contains text, but text in a <DIV> it adds \n
right after div when copying to clipboard - and you loose you table because
everything is one column

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load html from attachment
2 [review]. Copy it to clipboard
3. Paste it somewhere (better to some spreadsheet)

Actual Results:  
1x4 table displayed in a spreadsheet (tested Excel on Windows and Mesa on OS/2)

Expected Results:  
2x2 table displayed in a spreadsheet. 
Actually I'd recommend not to insert \n after last DIV in a parent - it is not
needed.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
