1. Open an html page with no blank lines
2. Go to Page Source
3. Choose Edit - Select All
4. Choose Edit - Copy
5. Open a NotePad
6. Paste the copied source.
Actual Results:  
The copied source has blank lines in apparently random places.

What do you mean ? Can you show us an example of such a page where this happens ? I see no difference between the code in the Page Source window, and after being copied into a different application.

Attachment: Sample html

You can try with this html page, but it happens to me with any page I've tried.  But it's shown more clearly with pages with originaly has no blank lines.

Attachment: Copied and pasted from example.html

When I open example.html and copy the source to notepad I got this.  Note that it has 2 blank lines and example.html has none.  When the html is bigger you got more blank lines.

I've upload an example.  Obviuosly the blank lines are on source code and has no effect on the result of viewing it on a browser.

Thanks!
