Ali Lown commented on WAVE-370:
-------------------------------
As a 'workaround' might I suggest sticking with Chrome if copy/paste is
important to you.
The 'spaces' issue seems to have been known for a while (read as years) looking
at http://www.waveprotocol.org/protocol/design-proposals/editor ('Clipboard'
section).
>From the description there it sounds like copy/paste is a pretty big hack
>around the browsers...
I don't know the clipboard code at all, but it sounds like the problem might
lie in the tokenizer not recognising the format it puts the data in the
clipboard into. Yet when it gets done through an external editor the data is
silently being transformed slightly
Is formatting preserved in any way when using the external editor? (Since the
above document suggests it should use RTF as an intermediate for other programs)

> Key: WAVE-370
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WAVE-370
> Project: Wave
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Apache Wave-based kune.cc
> Reporter: Samer
> Labels: bug, copy, edit, paste, text, wave
>
> NOTE: This only happens using Firefox (v15), while in Chromium (v18) it
> doesn't happen:
> * If you copy something in plain text from an external text editor to a wave,
> it copy/pastes ok
> * If you copy something from a wave to a wave (the same or a different one):
> ** it does copy, as you can paste in an external text editor
> ** but it does not paste correctly (it pastes nothing)
> Workaround: copy from wave, paste in text editor, copy from text editor,
> paste in wave.
> Possibly interesting info:
> * If you copy text "kk" within editing mode, when pasting in external editor
> it pastes "kk ". That is, some additional character that shows as "blank
> space" is attached in the end.
> * If you copy text "kk" outside editing mode (from a blip that is not in
> edition mode), when pasting in external editor it pastes "kk". That is, no
> additional character. Still, if getting into edition mode and trying to
> paste, nothing is pasted.
