Package: iceweasel
Version: 43.0.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to insert a non-breaking space in a form on a web page.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I first tried using the usual key combination I use to insert such
non-breaking space - this is how I do it in both LibreOffice and vim -
and, since it did not work, I then tried copying and pasting the
character from LibreOffice (since LO grey out non-breaking spaces I'm
pretty sure this was not a simple space).
* What was the outcome of this action?
The non-breaking space is converted to simple space as soon it is
inserted/pasted.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the non-breaking space would get inserted as such.
This is the precise series of operations I made to be sure; wherever the
<nbsp> sequences appears below, please substitute the unicode U+0040
character coded in utf-8 as "c2 a0" since I use the locale fr_FR.utf8:
1. type M<nbsp>M in Libreoffice (the space looks greyed out)
2. select the 3 characters with the mouse and Ctrl-C them
3. click in a textarea in Iceweasel then Ctrl-V
4. select the 3 letters in the textarea and Ctrl-C them
5. open vim in some terminal emulator then paste with Ctrl-V
6. save the resulting file as out1.txt
7. reselect the 3 characters in LibreOffice as in 2.
8. open vim in some terminal emulator as in 5.
9. save the resulting file as out2.txt
10. run "od -c" on both files:
out1.txt : 0000000 m m
out2.txt : 0000000 m 302 240 m
Note that in order to avoid any problem with possible javascript
side-effect in the original use case (a TinyMCE editor running in some
CMS), I reproduced the problem with a new HTML file I created
with just a pair of opening and closing textarea tags in it.
In order to avoid an underlying library problem, I pasted this nbsp
character in different application with no problem :
- vim (running in different terminal emulators),
- leafpad
- libreoffice itself, most evidently
Yet, I just noticed that the same problem exhibits in Icedove, so this
bug might be reaffected to some underlying component.
HTH,
Regards,
phep
