42810 2010-07-22 02:04:55 -0700 [GTK] Selecting and copying text containing images does not copy their text representation 2010-07-27 09:27:35 -0700 1 1 1 Unclassified WebKit WebKitGTK 528+ (Nightly build) PC Linux RESOLVED DUPLICATE 11200 P2 Normal --- 0 patrys webkit-unassigned glen mrobinson oldest_to_newest 254700 0 patrys 2010-07-22 02:04:55 -0700 It is most visible in IM programs like Empathy where selecting a text with emoticons, copying to the clipboard and pasting as plain text strips the images away. I'd expect it to use the "alt" attribute instead as this is the closest representation in text mode. You can test it in Empathy, Chrome, Chromium, Midori etc. 254937 1 mrobinson 2010-07-22 13:06:38 -0700 Thanks for reporting this.
