[Bug 375516] [NEW] No easy way to copy & paste code from a page to another

[Felipe Perucho]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kompozer

I'm running Kompozer 0.8a3 on Ubuntu 9.04. I find not easy to copy parts
of code from one page to another. These are the problems I find (please
tell me if you want these in separate bug reports):

1. I expected to open two pages on two diferent Kompozer windows, put
them on "source view" and copy & paste from one to another parts of
code, but "Paste" option remains unaccesible even when I cut. Curiously,
simultaneous clic on both mouse buttons works right. Probably this is
not an exclusive Komposer bug, because I have had similar problems with
Firefox and Openoffice...

2. I then try to open both pages in the same window, but when I change
to source view, I lose tabs, so I can't change (easily) to the other
page to paste the code.

3. Finally, I tried the "split view", which is right, except that I have
code outside my screen in highlighted mode (see attached image), and
when I click over the code, I lose highlight (a pity that I can bear),
and can only see parts of code at a time, feature that in this context
is not the best option.

I know that you are working hard on the source view, and that you are
looking after a good solution. I hope that this "real life" examples
help... If you prefer this kind of reports in other context, please tell
me.
