User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.3.154.3 Safari/525.19
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1pre) Gecko/20080925121544 SeaMonkey/2.0a1

When you paste some test from the clipboard that contains a 'new line' character into the search/address bar, Seamonkey helpfully removed the 'new line' character from the string. However is should replace that 'new line' with a whitespace character so that the text is searchable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy text that spans multiple lines (contains new line characters) into clipboard
2. Paste text into search bar

Actual Results:  
Line 1Line 2Line 3

Expected Results:  
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3

Tested on system running Vista x64 if that is relevant.

Confirming.

WONTFIX. We did this deliberately in Bug 23485 - browser window should strip newlines from url pastes.

This is probably better off in an extension with multiple options on how to paste text.
