When copying text from dialogs and windows via "screen review", separate lines are merged in one single line #3900

Comment 1 by jteh on 2014-02-20 10:14 Technical: It should be fairly simple to fix. DisplayModelTextInfo.clipboardText should use getTextInChunks and then join them with CRLF, similar to VirtualBufferTextInfo.clipboardText without the call to strip. |

From long time ago, I've noticed that text loaded in the "Virtual Revision" add-on for NVDA is not split on separate lines, but is displayed as one single line, even though on the screen the text is shown on separate lines. I thought that the issue is in the add-on itself, until a couple of days ago. I was demonstrating the "screen review" capabilities of NVDA in a Skype conference and then I've noticed that if I copy text from dialogs and windows via the "screen review" mode instead with the "object review" mode, the copied text is merged in one single line, even though it is copied (and shows on the screen) as separate lines. And not only that, but every line is joined to the other with no separation at all - not even a space. When I only review the text on the screen (even with "screen review" mode), the text is treated as it should - each line on its own - the merging occurs only when copying it. Note, that I'm talking about copying of text with NVDA+F9 and NVDA+F10.
Steps to reproduce it:
Actual results: All lines of copied text are merged in one single line, with no separation at all (not even a space) between them.
Expected results: Each line of text should be on its own line.
NVDA version: next-10380,9ee9b11, but this occurs with 2013.3 as well. According to some users, this started in 2013.3. My guessing is that it has something to do with the "screen review" mode, because if I'm not mistaking, that mode was introduced then.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
