Mac-specific Bidi bug -> ftang

similar to bug 119877

give to nhotta, we should take a look at 'STYL' clipboard format too. if it have a font of a certain script, we could return that charset as the clipboard charset.

nsbeta1- per triage meeting

Is there anything we can do to help this bug get fixed soner. IMO, these problems (together with bug 119877 ) are too major to wait for some future version of Mozilla- with them in place, copy/paste of Hebrew text on MacOS is effectively not there at al

I have to say that this bug is not limited to Mac platform or Hebrew text, because I am using Windows 2000 server with Mozilla 0.9.9 , and encounter the same problem when dealing with Chinese (Big5) text. The 8-bit is stripped when pasted into a text area.

just tested this with mozilla 1.1b on mac os 9.2.1 from yeda, and this looks ok. Anyone else still getting this bug?

I think this was fixed by the change for 'styl' support.
