Problem pasting text into a QTextEdit

[jacek]

Same thing happens in QT 4.1.5. Can anyone verify this happens to them quickly? Simple to reproduce, just open up the rich text example SyntaxHighlighter or create a new dialog, stick on a QTextEidt box and hit preview. Then open up a document in firefox, openoffice, or word 2000 on a win2k or xp box, copy a bunch of text and paste it back in the QT program and see if the text is screwed up.

I've tried pasting something from Firefox to a dialog with QTextEdit and everything looked OK (Qt 4.1.5, windows XP).

I just tried 4.0.1 on this machine and it does the same thing.

Just so you can see what I'm talking about and can try reproducing exactly. I went to wikipedia, and searched for computers. I grabbed the text from the first couple of paragraphs, pasted it into the syntaxhighlighter (just wanted a qtextedit box, same thing happens in any other program for me), and took a screenshot. You can see scattered throughout the image there are spaces missing between some words. This is just so weird, I have no clue at all what could be causing this.

I have no clue at all what could be causing this.

Maybe there's something wrong with the encoding or fonts?

As you can see in the attachment, it works for me.

Hum, so it must be something wrong with my version then... just a standard win2000 box, pentiumII based celeron, installed from the executable package.

I'll try recompiling Qt myself to see if that'll fix it.

Excuse my english)

I have some problem with Qt 4.4.3.
I know, that it happens because QMimeData::html(), which is used by QClipboard do not convert line-breaks to spaces, as any browser or rich text editor does.
I temporary use QString::simplified(), but it isn't a solution at all because of unwanted trimmings.

Anyone can help?
