[Bug 530222] Re: Empathy copy-paste is terrible

[SoloTurn]

i m using ubuntu lucid, beta. with pidgin copy-paste looks the same
everywhere. nicely formatted, with color and timestamp, one paragraph
per message.

with empathy it does not, some examples:

1. copy multiple messages from one chat window - paste into another
the result is one big message, including all the messages as text. name and date coming with it.

2. copy multiple messages from one chat window - paste into openoffice
an ugly formatted (html?) table is produced, with dead icons.

3. copy multiple messages from one chat window - paste intogmail rich text formatted mail, firefox-3.6
no paste at all is possible.

4. copy multiple messages from one chat window - paste into text editor, or text formated gmail
the format is ugly and inconsistent, i.e. for a multiline message copied:
   * first line is name and time,
   * second line is only text
   * third line is text and time
   * fourth line is space




** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu)
