Good find. You go, girl. Seems it shouldn't strip single returns, but
leave them in.

Keeping breaks, you you could end up with
weird
line breaks.
But this could be intended, like if it's a poem:

MARK but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is ;
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead ;
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ;
And this, alas ! is more than we would do.


Since Bric can't read minds, and doesn't know if hard breaks are intended or
not, it should leave them in.

Anyone object to this going into bugzilla?

You *will* have a difference of opinion on this. It can be really hard to
edit text that's pasted in and kept literally, as I'm sure you know.

Rachel should enter one for the smushedwords problem. Be sure to specify
the OS and browser, since it's likely a problem related to that.

As for what you mention, Jason, I'll create a To Do item to add a checkbox
to the Bulk Edit page. When the box is checked, your line wrapping will be
preserved. When it's not checked, it won't. It will be unchecked by
default. That should keep everybody happy.
