leading space missing when copying text from Zanata source column in Firefox 3
Last modified: 2012-03-06 19:07:05 EST
Description of problem: When copying original text to the target, space in front of the string isnt included in the translation space. e.g. Copy this string " <literal>Red Had Enterprise Virtulization Manager</literal> " with the space in front and at the end, and paste it in the translated string. the space in front will disappear. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy a word with a space infront 2. paste it in the target 3. Actual results: the space in front isnt copied. Expected results: space should be included. Additional info:
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.
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).
Reviewed code and verified in Firefox 3.6.18
