The 3rd example makes it clear it is not because the text in the email is
Wrapped that it gets copied wrong.
In this email, every line ends with 0x0A
Thereby making every pasted line a single unwrappable block in OO.
I also note that copying from the compose window does not have this problem.
Just as copying from this comment text box.
So the source location does seem to be involved.
Looking up the documentation for the "Selection Buffer" in the X server manual:
icccm.txt
2. Peer-to-Peer Communication by Means of Selections
Selections are the primary mechanism that X Version 11 defines for the
exchange of information between clients, for example, by cutting and pasting
between windows. Note that there can be an arbitrary number of selections (each
named by an atom) and that they are global to the server. Section 2.6 discusses
the choice of an atom. Each selection is owned by a client and is attached to a
window.
Selections communicate between an owner and a requestor. The owner has the
data representing the value of its selection, and the requestor receives it. A
requestor wishing to obtain the value of a selection provides the following:
* The name of the selection
* The name of a property
* A window
* The atom representing the data type required
* Optionally, some parameters for the request
If the selection is currently owned, the owner receives an event and is
expected to do the following:
* Convert the contents of the selection to the requested data type
* Place this data in the named property on the named window
* Send the requestor an event to let it know the property is available
Clients are strongly encouraged to use this mechanism. In particular,
displaying text in a permanent window without providing the ability to select
and convert it into a string is definitely considered antisocial.
Note that all data transferred between an owner and a requestor must usually
go by means of the server in an X Version 11 environment. A client cannot assume
that another client can open the same files or even communicate directly. The
other client may be talking to the server by means of a completely different
networking mechanism (for example, one client might be DECnet and the other
TCP/IP). Thus, passing indirect references to data (such as, file names, host
names, and port numbers) is permitted only if both clients specifically agree.
Enough quoting, unless someone doesn't have access to the original.
Definitely not the same as Windows clipboard.
