Any update on this? Copy & paste with this firefox behavior is a real disaster... Ping. Can we get this fixed? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. The problem still present in the latest firefox-5.0-2.fc15.x86_64. Sorry this has gone so long without a response. Anyway, this bug really needs to be addressed upstream, not in Fedora. Have you filed a bug with mozilla yet? Looked through the upstream bugzilla and found this one:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116083
which will soon celebrate 10th anniversary ;-)
:-) lets hope it doesnt take another ten years then to fix. closing as upstream. |
Description of problem: When a text is formatted using css style "white-space: pre-wrap" and this text is then copied to clipboard using ctrl-c all new lines are substituted with spaces and pasting the content results in one long line. The same applies to "white-space: pre". This behaviour makes copy & paste almost unusable when the white space needs to be preserved (which is the actual purpose of pre style). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.i686 Example html code: <html> <body> <div style="white-space: pre"> one two three </div> </body> </html> Steps to Reproduce: 1. select text 2. copy the selection 3. paste to another location Actual results: one two three Expected results: one two three Additional info: The <pre> tag works fine.
