------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 23 23:42:52 +0000 2008 ------- The copy to clipboard functionality incorrectly appends a newline when none was present in the selected text. As a simple demonstration, select a word in the middle of a line and press Ctrl-C. Now go paste the clipboard into Notepad or some other plain text context and you will see the effect of the bonus newline. This is absolutely unexpected and wrong. I expect to copy only what I select. This is also not how Microsoft Word works. Note only will Word not inject extra newlines, I have the option even at the end of a line to visibly include or not include the actual newline in my selection even when invisible character display has not been enabled - I don't like Word, but they've got that particular functionality correct. For those that think this is a minor issue, I can assure you that great evil can occur when the paste target is a command shell - unexpected newlines mean unexpected (and possibly malformed) command execution. The only workaround I'm aware of is to always paste into an intermediate (non-OOo) text application, reselect the desired text, and copy to clipboard again before the target paste operation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
