52184 - unable to paste correctly paragraph tags

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[christophe barbe]

I use Mozilla M17 build 2000080923 under RedHat 6.1 (with HelixCode).
The RPM packages comes from the redhat ftp pointed by galeon.

When I copy a text from Mozilla to another app (balsa, gedit, ...) the <P> tags
are not well translated. They are ignored instead to be convert in a carriage
return code. The <BR> tags are well translated.

You can look at the following page which contains a lot of <P> tags which are
well translated (in a copy/paste operation) with Netscape 4.75.

Christophe-
Forgive me for being ignorant here-but are you copying the content of the web 
page or the page source?  Thanks.

akkana owns copy/paste

I don't understand the bug -- aren't <p> tags supposed to be converted to two
carriage returns on pasting into plaintext?  Exactly what are you seeing, vs.
what do you expect to see?

Joe's rewriting paste anyway, so I'll pass this to him, but will stay on the cc
list.

well, i'm only rewriting html paste.  I know pretty much nothing about html->
plaintext conversion.  I agree that we should be putting in returns for 
boundaries between block elements.

thanks

Well, being that I don't really know what the problem is (and I'm not the only 
one-see akkana's comments) I can't say for sure...

What I see (regressing to PR2 on Mac) is that the <p> was not being copied at all 
(i.e. no carrriage returns).  On 10-09-10 Mac build, it copied with the 
appropriate 2 carriage returns.  Marking VERIFIED since it seems to have fixed 
that problem.

Reopening to Resolve as Fixed.  Bugs stay resolved until verified on both the
branch and the trunk.

Comment 10

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Resolving as Fixed.  vtrunk keyword is in place requesting trunk verification
before this bug changes state to Verified.  When this is verified on the trunk
vtrunk keyword should be removed and the bug Status should be set to Verified.
Sorry for the spam, just trying to make sure we cover all of our bases here.

I'm verifying this bug on trunk build and I have a question.
This is a Linux problem but it was verified on Macintosh?..
Or this is an all platform bug?

Comment 12

[Loco]

Per my comments above, yes, its an ALL bug.  Sorry bout that-updating 
accordingly.
