           Summary: When copying a table row from other browsers, Safari
                    and Chrome paste the content as text rather than
                    within a table structure
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: monahant at ie.ibm.com

To reproduce, open the attached html file in Firefox or IE.
Select the first table row by dragging the mouse across all content in the row and use Ctrl+C to copy the content.
Open the same html file in Safari or Chrome and click into one of the table cells. 
Use Ctrl+V to paste the content.
Problem: The table content is pasted as text, rather than within a table.

Using a clipboard inspector, the table structure is correctly represented in the HTML format on the clipboard as shown below. It seems like Webkit is using the Text format from the clipboard instead of the HTML format.

Clipboard HTML format in Firefox:
Version:0.9
StartHTML:00000181
EndHTML:00000296
StartFragment:00000215
EndFragment:00000260
SourceURL:file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Teresa%20Monahan/Desktop/test.html
<html><body>
<!--StartFragment--><tr><td>
                ccc</td><td>
                ddd</td></tr><!--EndFragment-->
</body>
</html>

Clipboard HTML format in Internet Explorer:
Version:1.0
StartHTML:000000235
EndHTML:000000545

EndSelection:000000469
