Goal:
Copy the title from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7725 (the HTML is <pre><span class="h1">An HTTP Status Code to Report Legal Obstacles</span></pre> ) and paste it into a table at the end of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RFCs#Numerical_list
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7725
- Triple-click on the title and copy it.
- Go to a page in VisualEditor and (rich/regular) paste it.
Results:
Upon pasting, an empty <pre> block (in Safari/Mac; probably not even that on Windows)). Upon saving, nothing.
Desired results:
The words, with or without the <pre> formatting.
Reported originally in Mozilla Firefox (45.0.1) and Google Chrome (49.0.2623.87 m) on Windows 7, 64-bit. Reproduced in Safari 9 on Mac 10.10.5. However, it works correctly[1] in Firefox 45 on my Mac.
[1] In Firefox, the page is saved as An HTTP Status Code to Report Legal Obstacles (14 leading spaces, and one trailing), which might not be entirely desirable.
