649613 - Copying and pasting from the View Source window adds line breaks that weren't in the source

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 198391

(Core :: DOM: Serializers, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen) (temporarily away from Bugzilla)]

Steps to reproduce:
 1) View Source on http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/view-source-bidi-break2.html
 2) Select all
 3) Copy
 4) Switch to a plain text editor (separate app that reads the plain text flavor from the system clipboard)
 5) Paste.

Expected results:
Expected the pasted result to have the line breaks that were in the original source and no more.

Actual results:
There's an extra line break wherever a new <pre> starts in the View Source DOM, because the plaintext serializer doesn't care about margin: 0 on pre.

Additional info:
This problem was caused by bug 86355.

Apparently dupe of bug 198391.
