57041 - copies from textfiels have <pre>

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56135

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

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Reproduce:
1. New msg (HTML compose), write a line
2. Doubleclick on text in a textfield, e.g. the urlbar or the summary line on
this bug.
3. Copy (not necessary on Unix)
4. Paste into the middle of the line in the composer
5. Debug|Output HTML
6. Copy&paste something from another app

Actual result:
After step 4: You see newline, pasted text in monospace, newline.
After step 5: Debug output shows that a <pre> is around the pasted text.
After step 6: The text is pasted without any formatting, i.e. the pasted text
has the same formatting as the surrounding text.

Expected result:
Step 4 is similar to step 6. No <pre> after step 5.

This makes pasting URLs into mails very hard (have to paste in another app and
then paste back into Mozilla) -> mozilla0.9 nomination.
