70603 - paste ASCII from browser to any other program broken in 0.8

Status: CLOSED DUPLICATE of bug 55661

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[duane voth]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18djv i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010223
BuildID:    moz 0.8 tarball built on Mandrake 7.2

I'm pretty sure this worked in 0.7: text selected in the browser
window (with or without ctrl-c) cannot be pasted into other X11 apps.
(remember: X11 semantics require that ctrl-c is NOT necessary)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
select any region of text in a browser window (I'm using
<pre>text</pre>), optionally press ctrl-c, paste into any other
X windows app (xterm is fine) using the middle button.

Actual Results:  Result: some previous selection appears in the xterm.

Expected Results:  Selected browser text should appear in the xterm.

worksforme with the 2001-02-28-08 nightly (subject to some other bugs with unix
cut/n/paste).

Reporter, could you possibly try a nightly build?

Ok, it works in the CVS tree as of this morning (Mar 02) - except that there
is now a carraige-return added to the end of the selection even when a CR is
not part of the selection.

Verified in Linux 2001022714 - CR is added to the selection when pasted, even if
it wasn't there before.

Suggest changing Summary to "paste ASCII from browser to any other program adds
CR" - I don't have permission to do so.

Adding CR for copy/paste from <pre> is bug 55661

Verified dup based on the CR problem. Reporter: if you original problem of no paste at all doesn't work in latest nightlies, please reopen this bug. Thanks.

Just got the 3/24 cvs tree - all is well.  Closing.  Great work all.
