still seeling line breaks (FF3)

This attachment doesn't seem to be relevant to this bug, as it shows issues with pasting text *into* the wikiEditor while this bug is about issues with pasting text *from* the wikiEditor to someplace else. It was probably intended as an attachment for bug 22428 instead.

If the linebreak issue upon copy/paste from external editor to internal editor is tracked somewhere else, please direct the issues raised in Comment 2 there.

Most of this attachment is irrelevant: copying from the HTML and pasting that into Word is not related to the wikiEditor software. Only the last page about SA4/EDIT -> Word is relevant.

This has to do with the way that Firefox copies text, which is beyond our control. I've verified this is indeed a valid report, but at this point, I do not believe there's a way to resolve it.

Changing all WONTFIX high priority bugs to lowest priority (no mail should be generated since I turned it off for this.)
