--- Comment #7 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #6) This is completely unreasonable, to require any external application (here: LibreOffice)'s data compliance with some specific conventions used in "this" application (here: Thunderbird). LibreOffice generates a valid clipboard content. Thunderbird just takes it as HTML, and without any processing, merges with their already existing HTML. If done this way, it could not only override previous formatting, but could maybe have even worse effects. This is the specifics of their processing; it is not reasonable to require other apps to fit into that simple way of merging of the data. Given that they are built on an HTML processing engine, I could *imagine* (but I don't claim it's "easy": of course, that could be very complicated) e.g. something like separating the stylesheet from our HTML, merging in with their stylesheet in a smarter way (e.g., making sure that pre-existing properties take precedence, or even dropping all pre-existing styles ... ?). Anyway, pasting is necessarily complex thing, especially when you take data from arbitrary source. You just can't expect infinite number of external applications to fit into your specific data model - you need a processing. I don't see this as LibreOffice fault. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
