Details

If you select a block of text, and select Edit | Copy, and then paste the copied text into Notepad, you get a bunch of tags along with the copied text. For example, a simple HTML file that contains a few words as well as a background color, gives you: <HTML><xml version="1.0"?>**<body bgcolor="#ffffcc"><**<p>his is some text</p>*** *</body>*</HTML> The * stands for illegible characters in Notepad. Note that this isn't the same as the source of the HTML document; the original document has <html> instead of < HTML>, and no xml tag. Expected behavior would be to paste unformatted text.

Seems OK, but there are still huge problems with copy and paste. Marking verified.
Per a request from Selection and Search component eng (mjudge) and qa (elig), moving all "Selection and Search" bugs to new "Selection" component. Original "Selection and Search" component will be retired.

All these bugs were marked "New" when Jan transfered ownership of them to me. They were all resolved and need to be marked "Verified" again.
