Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

On certain web pages (those with the .txt extension from what I've tested), when you highlight certain text by double clicking on it, and then copy it (ctrl+c), it will copy a new line along with the text.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the following site: http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/sunagex-adv.txt
2. Double click on the word "SunAge" on the 5th line to highlight just that word.
3. Press CTRL+C to copy that word
4. Open a text editor such as notepad, and press ctrl+v to paste the text you just copied.
Actual Results:  
You will notice that not only did it copy the word, it copied a new line too.

Expected Results:  
It should only copy the word, considering that is what is highlighted. Not a new line.

It seems to only do this in .txt files from what I have found. It never did this in versions of Firefox 2.
