Chris A more general annoyance is that line breaks in copied material are not preserved. If I copy text into a document, any line breaks which apparently existed in the original disappear.
Returning to my playlist copied into the browser from Winamp using control+alt+g, the list is presented in Firefox with numbers, with each list item on a separate line. But now, when copied into a document using the F8 method, it is presented as a continuous string of text, with no numbers. This means that I have to reinsert numbers and line breaks before I can send it to anyone. Sure, for my radio show, it's only 30 or so items, but it's laborious, and I didn't have to do it under the old selection method. -- Reg <[email protected]> On Sun, 4 Jan 2015 08:57:51 +0000 Chris Grabowski <[email protected]> wrote: > It would be great if we had examples on times when the text is not copied. > > For example: > > 1.
