           Summary: QtWebKit: HTML copying is incompatible with MS Word
                    wrt images
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sebastian.gottfried at argetp21.de


If I copy a selection containing text and images via QWebAction::Copy and paste
it into MS Word all images are omitted. Layout and formatting are transferred
as expected. 

As it appears QtWebKit embeds the images as data urls into to html code for the
clipboard. This isn't necessaraly a bug, but one of the most important paste
targets, MS Word, can't handle this. As other popular browsers, like MSIE and
Mozilla Firefox just pass the URLs of the images, QtWebKit should follow this
behaviour for better compatibility.

I'm using WebKit from Qt 4.6.1.
