Hi Jacque,
I'm using the "Harry Potter" page on wikipedia for test purposes.
By first doing command-A, then judiciously shift-clicking, I have
isolated the source of the problem, unless I screwed it up. It
appears to be the "In Other Languages" sidebar at the far left
side of the page.
It will paste into my email client.
I was able to reproduce the problem, but I'm not sure we should
call it a bug, since it's pretty much just how Rev works right now.
The problem is that the web page is encoded in unicode. The most
reliable way to transfer that to Rev is via the htmlText property.
This works okay with the problem text:
set the htmltext of fld 1 to the clipboardData["html"]
Well, sure. That isn't hard.
The problem is going to occur with unsophisticated users, like me,
who don't understand what the problem is, and suffer frustration as a
consequence. This is a tiny bit user-unfriendly. Probably not good
for RR. Of course, they have limited resources and are doing the best
they can.
OTOH, if I can paste unicode into Stickies, TextEdit, or an email
client, I guess the computational task isn't that hard, and I suppose
the necessary code is available off the shelf.
Not a huge issue for me in any case.
Cheers,
Tim
