Line break is copied together with selected text in html list
-
Hello,
I wrote the following code:
QTextEdit *te = new QTextEdit();
te->setHtml("<ul><li>LINE 1</li><li>LINE 2</li><li>LINE 3</li></ul>);
and I get the following result at TextEdit:- LINE 1
- LINE 2
- LINE 3
If I copy the letter "E" for example, and paste it to a simple editor, it pastes a line break and then the letter "E". If text is outside html list it is copied without line break.
Any ideas how to get rid of line break? -

Hi
Seems to be related to it copy as html and the text version of it, then contains \n\r
Unless there is an option, i think you need to handle the copy to clipboard your self to prevent this.

A lot of html controls in applications have a "copy as plain text" option probably for reasons like this.
I would just implement a copy as plain text function yourself as @mrjj suggests.
Should be super easy as you can get the plain text from the control, then just put that on the clipboard in response to a copy instead of the html.
