This doesn't happen in Chrome 17, but it does happen in Firefox 3.6.26.  It seems to be a browser limitation, because Firefox often fails to copy leading spaces in a variety of web pages, not just Zanata.

This discussion seems to be related: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/codemirror/eIOIOlVhv4s/discussion

I'll see if upgrading codemirror helps.

Comment 3 Sean Flanigan 2012-02-15 05:23:56 UTC

This is caused by a Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116083

Upgrading CodeMirror didn't help by itself, but I've changed the text cells to use "pre" elements as a workaround.

Fixed in https://github.com/zanata/zanata/commit/27996321de64ed9b6e48dc6781df25183131ddc2 (master).
