Description Martin Klapetek 2011-04-03 13:31:26 UTC

Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When copying a longer portion of content from chat view, it copies html and then when pasted into chat input, it pastes the html including the avatars etc. See the attached screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

I think it copies both the HTML and plaintext, as you can have various mimetypes in the clipboard at any time.

At which point we may be able to get away with just running
setAcceptRichText(false) in the ChatTextEdit.

(not tested)

Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2011-04-03 16:38:19 UTC

That could work, yeah, also for different sources which would otherwise paste a "garbled" text. Although we should probably also consider a use case, where you want to copy the conversation and paste it elsewhere (mail, pastebin etc.).

The setAcceptRichText(false) in the ChatTextEdit works as it eliminates all html and pastes only text. It's a one line patch.
(tested)
Is there anything else we're supposed to look out for?

Ship it!
We can deal with anything else if/when it comes up.

FIX: Strip down HTML when copying from chat view

BUG: 269996
REVIEW: David Edmundson

set the "setAcceptRichText" to false so we don't accept anything unwanted apart from normal text

Comment 7 Martin Klapetek 2011-04-05 00:57:38 UTC

Great it is fixed. But consider the use cases in comment 3, we should consider different targets for pasting, therefore we should fix the source, not the (one) target.
