405775 - Paste from ms word gives double spaces lines

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Roger Wray]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; FDM)
Build Identifier: SP 2

The paste function does not reproduce text as copied from other programs. Because of the previous problem I submitted about spell checking, I use MS Word to create message and paste them into ThunderBird when I am unsure of spelling. When I copy from Word to message, it double spaces lines.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.copy from MS Word
2.paste into ThunderBird
3.
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
Exact representation of what was copied when it is text only. CR/NL should be normal, not double spaced.

Does it happen with other programs too? I think it's the "from-application" who is responsible for what it puts on the clip board.

No. ThunderBird is the only application that responds in this way. I can paste into Notepad or OpenOffice Writer without this issue, although Writer has its' own aspects when handling cr/nl.

Could something like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458650#c2 be happening when we are pasting from word.

Roger do you still have the issue ?

-> Incomplete due to lack of information. Please reopen if the issue still occurs in the latest Thunderbird trunk builds giving reasons why.
