72811 - pasting from loses whitespace at beginning of line

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 69024

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

Go to the URL above and select the whole thing (Accel-A or by dragging), then
paste (Accel-C, Accel-V or middle-click in an xterm).  Notice that the spaces
that are supposed to be before the "</script>" are not.  This results in patch
damage when attempting to copy patches out of bugzilla entries, and perhaps
other kinds of silent data corruption.

I'm seeing this on the tip as well as on 0.8.1.

-    var _elementIDs = ["generalStartupBrowser", /*"toolbarStyle,"*/
"showHideTooltips"];
+    var _elementIDs = ["generalStartupBrowser", "showHideTooltips"];
   ]]>
</script>

Maybe this is a duplicate of another bug on Joe's list?  #69024?
