           Summary: [GTK] Selecting and copying text containing images
                    does not copy their text representation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: patrys at pld-linux.org


It is most visible in IM programs like Empathy where selecting a text with emoticons, copying to the clipboard and pasting as plain text strips the images away. I'd expect it to use the "alt" attribute instead as this is the closest representation in text mode. You can test it in Empathy, Chrome, Chromium, Midori etc.
