<broken out of 12551> * TITLE/SUMMARY Copying a space followed by a line break yields two spaces * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Apprunner 1) Using the attached test case, copy the entire "CodeStock Web Developer Seminars" paragraph. 2) View the Clipboard * RESULT - What happened When you copy text from a web page whose source contains a word, followed by a space, followed by a line break (not a <BR>; an actual line break), followed by a word, two spaces appear between the words. In this case, you'll see "web content with" (two spaces b/w 'content' & 'with'): The source is: <---> web content with <---> (with a space after the word "content") - What was expected One space between words. * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Apprunner (19990808 optimized build) Win32 Apprunner (19990808 optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 3]) - Can't Reproduce On Linux Apprunner (1999082316 [busted] build date; probably this morning's build.) Copy doesn't function. * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP3. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM.

This is actually happening because the parser is calling us multiple times for adjacent whitespace nodes. I'm going to try to work around it in the sink stream, but cc'ing parser people since it doesn't seem like it ought to be doing this.

M12. Copy/paste of basic plaintext is important for beta.

Changing Component to Output.

I'm moving this to M13, it's a must have for beta

updating summary fields

Moving [FEATURE] to Summary for queries.

the information in the whiteboard summary is for me to track what folks are working on, just to keep things simple, I won't put the word feature in anymore

Daniel Brattell's changes should have fixed this, and have as far as I can tell. Marking fixed ... please reopen with a new test case if you're still seeing it.

Verified fixed using 2000011208 Mac OS smoke-tested build, as well as the 2000011108 Win32/Linux smoke-tested builds. Test case now functions, as did a variant checked on Mac OS of placing the the line break before the space (and in between two spaces).

Bulk move of all "Output" component bugs to new "DOM to Test Conversion" component. Output will be deleted as a component.
