53188 - Pasting text formatted with <PRE> loses formatting

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

FreeBSD 4.1 20000918xx

Select some text from this page (which is formatted with <pre>).  Paste it into
an editor/etc.  Note that all the formatting (line breaks) has been lost.  The
problem appears to be specific to <pre>.

Not sure if this is the right component...

How does this work with 4.x?  My guess is that it would have to do something with 
the parser if the document is *formatting* properly in the browser.  No?

Under 4.x and IE it works just fine - the selected text retains it's formatting
(i.e. it's line breaks).

The document displays correctly in Mozilla, it's only on Copy/Paste that <PRE>
text has a problem.  Regular non-<PRE> text Copy/Pastes fine.
