Description Robert Mibus 2008-02-04 23:54:11 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Copying a column of data out of a spreadsheet, and pasting it into a text-only source (gedit, gnome-terminal) results in a messy concatenation of all of the data with no delimiter at all.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Fill A1,A2,A3 with 1,2,3 respectively
2. Select A1:A3, and copy with Ctrl-C.
3. Past into gedit


Actual results:
"123" is pasted into gedit

Expected results:
"1
2
3" should be pasted instead.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Pasting it into OOCalc pastes the data fine, copying from the OOCalc copy works as expected.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2008-02-05 07:08:10 UTC 
Which version of gedit are you using? With Gnumeric 1.7.13 and gedit 2.20.3 everything seems to work fine.
Comment 3 Jon Kåre Hellan 2008-02-05 09:17:10 UTC 
I see the bug with Gnumeric HEAD, but not with 1.7.11.
Comment 4 Robert Mibus 2008-02-05 13:08:31 UTC 
I can reproduce it on a Debian unstable/experimental box and an Ubuntu laptop, both with Gnumeric 1.8.1. GEdit on the Ubuntu laptop is 2.21.1 but I don't think it's relevant, since it also occurs in gnome-terminal. Also happens in this textarea (Firefox 3.0b3pre from Ubuntu Hardy alpha). OOCalc works OK and prior versions of Gnumeric worked fine.
