                    via the clipboard
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36/36.txt
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: winex11.drv
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: msclrhd at gmail.com


The following tests were carried out using `wine notepad` and the Gutenberg
text for "War of the Worlds" (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36/36.txt) in a
native Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu Linux. The same thing happens with Cepstral
SwiftTalker.

1.  select from the start of the document upto and including "BOOK ONE" - i.e.
the first page or so.
2.  press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard.
3.  go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the
clipboard.

The data is pasted correctly into the edit control.

1.  select from the start of the document upto and including "CHAPTER EIGHT".
2.  press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard.
3.  go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the
clipboard.

The data upto "way back from the edge of the pi" is pasted. The rest is
missing.

1.  select all of the document.
2.  press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard.
3.  go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the
clipboard.

The text "x" is pasted into the edit control.

NOTE: The text can be successfully pasted into a native application (e.g.
gedit).

NOTE: Saving the text to a file (e.g. from gedit) and then loading it from the
File > Open menu in notepad successfully displays all of the text.
