There is still a problem with the scratchpad editor in Tools/Web Developer/scratchpad

Browser:
Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6d5fd5a30c71

O/S:
Windows Vista SP2

STR:

Code to try:
===
    // open bookmarks.html in the current tab
    var as = content.document.getElementsByTagName("a");
    var out = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < as.length; i++) {
      out.push('<li><a href="' + as[i].href + '">' + as[i].innerHTML + "</a></li>");
    }
    var ch = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"].
      getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);
    ch.copyString(out.join("\r\n"));
===

Open the browser
1. open about:config
2. set devtools.chrome.enabled to true
3. tools > web developer > scratchpad
4. environment > browser
5. edit > paste
At this step:
 - I observe there are no line numbers added.
 - If you click the mouse in the comments, code disappears
6. execute > run
Code does not execute

The difference from the STR in bug 684862 is the use of the Edit -> Paste menu item, rather than Ctrl/Cmd+V.

Paste in the right-click context menu shows the same issue.

Just discovered that if you use the menu to paste into scratchpad, it fails.

If you use Ctrl-V it works as expected.

Thanks for your bug report. Confirmed. The Paste menu item is still not fixed (which is surprising), even if bug 692807 landed and fixed many copy/paste problems. We will look into fixing this case ASAP.

This is now fixed by bug 697407, as well as upstream. QA will verify.

Bruce and Bobby: please retest. Thank you very much for your reports and testing!
