Clipboard madness

[Pat Trendler]

Hi,

For what it's worth, I can confirm the same result as Xavier. It also 
happens pasting into the message box. I am on PC XP Pro.
For some reason I didn't think of it as a bug, but I realize now that it is.

It was annoying, but to get around it when copying and pasting, I pasted it 
first into Notepad and then into Rev (quicker than typing the missing bits)

Richard,

>In what way is it wrong?

in what way is it wrong that you don't test what I posted in the first place
in this thread?

PC issue only again?

Again... What happens is that if there is html in the clipdata, what is in
between backslashes gets filtered out...

I copied this

emcacl \\server\fs$\userprog\xxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\xxxxxxx":C

when I paste it in any field I get

emcacl \\\\$\\ /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F "OAAD\":C

Tested on 3 systems (w2k, nt4, w2k3), MC and Rev, script editor + other
fields + bugzilla time...

but if you look at the clipboarddata["text"] it is correct.

now try it yourself, put the clipboarddata["html"] to see the difference!

The problem is that somewhere when Rev interprets the html it strips my text
into

emcacl \\\\$\\ /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F "OAAD\":C

which quite obviously is not the same...

>>>>In what way is it wrong?

Copy some C code, and you'll get the same treatment when you paste it into a
rev field (this was the problem I reported long ago to Scott 3 to 5 years
ago... at least now, it's bugzillaed...

In what way is that wrong?

cheers
Xavier

MonsieurX.com - probably the biggest source of rev links, opensource stacks
and bugzillas on earth!
And some still don't believe me or think I care to report these things
carefully and professionaly without testing...
