Description of problem: When copying text via the clipboard from a received message (either in preview or message view window) to anywhere else (including evo's message composer or gedit), linefeeds are stripped out from the text copied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution 1.4.5-7, gtkhtml3 3.0.9-5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open any text/plain message with more than two paragraphs 2. paint and copy text 3. paste said text to evo composer or gedit Actual results: lines are merged, ie line1 has some text line2 has more text becomes line1 has some textline2 has more text Expected results: text should be copied as-is, including linefeeds Additional info:
Confirming this bug. I just copied a message with line breaks, not confusing with line wrap, to vi in gnome-terminal. Tried different ways, from preview pane, from opened message in separate window, from editor after hitting reply, tried the menu copy and paste, tried selecting and middle mouse button... Yes, very annoying bug.
Looks very much like this one: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48907
