Description Jarosław Staniek 2012-12-23 21:09:31 UTC 
Table View displays rich text as HTML and would not allow pasting or editing of rich text.

Reproducible: Always

== CASE 1: Table View displays rich text as HTML
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste a rich text to a form's Text Editor widget in form data view (currently the Text Editor does not support formatting actions so pasting is needed); the widget should have data field assigned for table T
2. Accept changes
3. Go to the table view of the table T

Actual Results:  
The text in record(s) that were filled in step 1 is displayed as HTML, i.e. starts with: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"  ...

Expected Results:  
The HTML is rendered as rich text. For values not having the HTML DOCTYPE prefix, plain text should be displayed.

== CASE 2: Table View would not allow pasting or editing of rich text
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a table view of the table T, text column
2. Paste some rich text content into a cell of the column (currently the Text Editor does not support formatting actions so pasting is needed)

Actual Results:  
The text gets pasted as plain text.

Expected Results:  
The text gets pasted as rich text and immediately rendered as such.

Currently the Editor does not support formatting actions but this is a topic for another report.
