[marco.laponder]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713134347

Steps to reproduce:

I have table with within the td a div containing the text for the column (simplification of complex web application), e.g. see http://jsfiddle.net/Vf2yT/. I selected multiple cells with Ctrl-Drag from the table with the divs, en copied it into MS Excel with Paste special , option Unicode


Actual results:

The row/cells structure was lost,all cells were pasted into a single column


Expected results:

row/cell structure should have been preserved. Note there is no problem when no divs are present, this has the expected result.

Is the same behavior in previous versions of Firefox?
