System environment: Win7 X64 Google Chrome 29.0.1547.62 m Steps to reproduce: Open a page Edit it in VE Copy-paste the following text: a b c d e Expected output: a b c d e Actual output: abcde The problem has been tested with notepad++ as the external editor, with line endings in windows format (CRLF), UNIX format (LF) and MAC format (CR). Newline is not copied in any of the cases. The problem has also been tested by trying to copy-paste html text from chrome itself. Newline is not copied.
Confirmed in Firefox 23 / Xubuntu Linux / Monobook Using kwrite: Tested with \n \r and \r\n end of lines and it makes no difference. Tested also using UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2 and Windows-1258 encodings. Also tested copying from this page viewed in Firefox, Konqueror and Linuks, from a PDF, a text file in a terminal, and again from kwrite using the following: a b c d e None of it makes the slightest bit of difference. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AThryduulf%2Fsandbox3&diff=571705481&oldid=571089410 is the copy from comment 0
