85077 - copy algoythm (mail => clipboard) attaches 2x CR to sourcestring

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55661

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[tobias]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

If you try to copy a part of a (received) mail into clipboard - this is not the
case for mails which you are composing - mozilla will attach two additional (not
existing) carriage returns in any case to the string. It doesn't matter if you
use the key-shortcut (ctrl+c) or copy via the menu.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.view a received mail (either open it in a new window or view it diretly in the
mozilla mail window - it seems to be the same module)
2.mark some words
3.copy them into clipboard

Actual Results:  string is copied to the clipboard with two additional CRs

Expected Results:  string should be copied to the clipboard without any
additional CRs

This bug seems to be related with bug no. 60273 - probably the url which was
pasted into the address bar wasn't parsed. the two additional CRs caused Mozilla
to crash - i guess.

I suppose Component should be Editor, but I do not know how to change it.
