939517 - <script> highlighted but not copied

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Serializers, defect, P5)

Description

[Dan Jacobson]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 Iceweasel/27.0a2 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131115004004

Steps to reproduce:

Visited http://www.flightradar24.com/faq
and highlighted

Yes! Use the HTML code below to show an iframe with Flightradar24.com map on you web page. You can adjust lat, lng, zoom, width, height to your needs. 
<iframe src="http://www.flightradar24.com/simple_index.php?lat=49.9&lon=12.3&z=8" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
When you use the iframe code and show Flightradar24.com map on your web page, you have to write that map comes from Flightradar24.com and link to Flightradar24.com from your map page.

Then I clicked copy, then I pasted it, and sent it to my boss.


Actual results:

The next week the boss called me up and said something is wrong.

I swear I had highlighted that entire block and hit COPY.

Why did it turn out a vital line didn't end up getting copied?


Expected results:

If Firefox does not intend to copy lines that have <script style="display: block;" type="text/plain"> in their source, then don't play bait and switch by highlighting them!

It's quite silly that it's in a script...

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority and severity.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
