           Summary: When copying a wrapped block of text, all whitespace
                    before a word may be eaten
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

To be precise: When copying a wrapped block of text, all whitespace before a word is eaten in resulting rich text if that word is the first word in line and is in different HTML tag than the last word in previous line. Plain text is correct.

Example HTML code:

<span>text text text text text text text text</span>
<span>text text text text text text text text</span>
      text text text text text text text text
<span>text text text text text text text text</span>

If you set WebKit's widget width so that it can hold exactly eight "text" words in each line, then select all and copy it, you'll get incorrect rich text in clipboard. When pasting to OpenOffice.org Writer, you'll get no space between each 8*n'th and 8*n+1'st word. On a side note, if that text block is wrapped in a different way, whitespace isn't eaten but in those places I get non-breaking spaces in OO.o Writer and '<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>' in HTML clipboard data retrieved using Qt and Qt-WebKit.

Reproduced on Chromium 12.0.742.53 and on Qt-WebKit shipped with Qt 4.7.3 on Linux.

Might be related to or even a dupe of Bug 31073.
