Description Matthew Barnes 2009-12-26 17:07:50 UTC 
Forwarding from a Fedora bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528091


I copied the text "Debugging Thunderbird" from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_Debug_Thunderbird into an email compose
window in Evolution by highlighting the text with the left mouse button
(dragging across the text) and then hitting the middle mouse button in the
compose window.

As the attached screenshot shows, the line spacing around this pasted text is
wider than the other text I typed in as part of my reply (xxx).  Text I type
immediately before (yyy) or after (zzz) the pasted test is also infected with
the abnormal line spacing.

The compose window should be reasonably WYSIWYG.  Since I am in Plain Text
editing mode, I should be seeing constant line spacing. 


evolution-2.26.3-1.fc11.i586
gtkhtml2-2.11.1-5.fc11.i586
firefox-3.5.3-1.fc11.i586

Confirmed that this is still a problem with the latest Fedora 12 packages:

evolution-2.28.2-1.fc12.i686
gtkhtml2-2.11.1-6.fc12.i686
firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.i686

GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
