While there may be a change in behavior here (likely due to the fix for bug 748303,) I don't think we're any less correct per spec now (:ayg, can you confirm?) Visually, the results are formatted as expected from MS Word (unlike when pasted into Google Chrome.) It also looks like we synthesize less code for the markup than Blink as well. In other words, LGTM.

I don't have MS Word on my computer.  I tried with WordPad, but I didn't notice anything unexpected in Firefox.  I just typed some text in WordPad, copied it, selected "Hello" on the paste, and pasted.  I got the text replacing "Hello" just as I would expect, no duplication of elements.  Is this specific to Word, or can it be reproduced without it?  Is there some specific text that must be typed to reproduce the bug?

If the div or dd is being duplicated in the test-case, then that would be a pretty bad bug.  I don't have any idea how d2596504ce97 might have caused it, though -- that was a cleanup patch and shouldn't have caused any behavior changes.  I briefly glanced over the patch just now and have no idea what might have done it.

@Aryeh, Yes you need MS Word. Wordpad removes the formatting when copied. MS Word content with formatting makes the dd,div clone in firefox. 

Any text in MS Word "hello" or anything even without bold or italic.
