Plain text is correct. Example HTML code: <span>text text text text text text text text</span> <span>text text text text text text text text</span> text text text text text text text text <span>text text text text text text text text</span> If you set WebKit's widget width so that it can hold exactly eight "text" words in each line, then select all and copy it, you'll get incorrect rich text in clipboard. When pasting to OpenOffice.org Writer, you'll get no space between each 8*n'th and 8*n+1'st word. On a side note, if that text block is wrapped in a different way, whitespace isn't eaten but in those places I get non-breaking spaces in OO.o Writer and '<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>' in HTML clipboard data retrieved using Qt and Qt-WebKit. Reproduced on Chromium 12.0.742.53 and on Qt-WebKit shipped with Qt 4.7.3 on Linux. Might be related to or even a dupe of Bug 31073. 410229 1 rniwa 2011-05-25 23:36:05 -0700 This is probably a duplicate of the bug 54598. 410368 2 b.brachaczek 2011-05-26 05:46:25 -0700 Hmm, you figured out that bug 54598 reproduces iff word-wrap is set to break-word. But I figured out that this bug reproduces iff white-space is set to normal or pre-line (doesn't reproduce with pre-wrap and obviously with pre and nowrap as well as they disable wrapping at all) and word-wrap doesn't affect it. It reproduces with: <div style="word-wrap: normal; white-space: normal;"><span>text text text text text text text text</span> <span>text text text text text text text text</span></div> as well as with: <div style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;"><span>text text text text text text text text</span> <span>text text text text text text text text</span></div> But doesn't reproduce with: <div style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>text text text text text text text text</span> <span>text text text text text text text text</span></div> Though, I haven't tried your patch from bug 54598.
