TYPO3 Core

In the backend, the expected result depends on the paste behaviour you have set in your BE User Settings.

If you selected, "Paste structure and basic format", then the result depends on where you are pasting from.

If you are pasting from a plain text editor (in which the notion of paragraph does not exist), the result will be, as expected:

Line 1<br />Line 2

After save, this will become:

<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>

If you are pasting from Open Office, the result will be:

<p>Line 1</p>
<p>Line 2</p>

This is the case in Firefox 22, Chrome 28 and Internet Explorer 10.

The paste operation may clean away some markup, depending on your settings, but it will not add markup that does not exist in the source text.

Hm, that would be OK, but this is not true for me.

Tested in FF 25.0.1 and Chrome 31.0.1650.63 (on Mac OSX 10.9.1)

FF after paste:

Line 1<br />Line 2

FF after save:

<p>Line 1<br />Line 2</p>

Chrome after paste:

<div>Line 1</div>
<div>Line 2</div>

Chrome after save:

<div><p>Line 1</p></div>
<div><p>Line 2</p></div>

So, yes. This is still an issue for me.

As far as I can see this behavior is due to RTEHtml area; I performed a test using http://htmlarea.sourceforge.net/examples/core.html and the results are:

Chrome 42.0.2311.135 (64-bit) on Mac OSX Yosemite:

<div>Line 1</div>
<div>Line 2</div>

Firefox 37.0.2 on Mac OSX Yosemite:

Line 1<br />Line 2

IE11 11.0.9600.17728 on Windows 8.1 64bit

Line 1<br />Line 2

Chrome 42.0.2311.135 on Windows 7 64bit:

<div>Line 1</div>
<div>Line 2</div>

Firefox 37.0.2 on Windows 7 64bit:

Line 1<br />Line 2

IE11 10.0.9200.17296 on Windows 7 64bit (IE9 emulation as in IE10 mode that page did not work)

<p>line 1<br />line 2</p>
