Why Can I Copy Safari HTML, but Only Text from Camino? - mrlynn - 01-30-2010
I've switched to Camino for my default browser, after getting fed up with Safari quitting 'unexpectedly' several times a day. Camino has yet to quit after a week of use, though it did lock up with a radio stream.
One puzzle: When I copy part of a web page in Safari and paste it into a word processor (even TextEdit), the HTML carries over. But when I paste from Camino only plain text shows up.
I assumed this was just a Preference, but can't find one in Camino to have copy and paste the way Safari does.
Am I missing something?

First,
You'll likely find that if you create a temp user, that Safari will work perfectly. I have found that
with all browsers - something gets them, makes them useless, and when it is my loaded identity,
there are few things more annoying and nothing fixes it but a nuke/pave. It's happened to be with
other browsers than Safari. Firefox among them.
As for your other question - it's because the Camino people are mean and hateful, and have hemorrhoids.

"Copy in rich text format is something that is currently not implemented in the version of Gecko used Camino 2 (Gecko 1.9.0.x)."

Thanks, Raydog; that answers the question.
I'll bet the Camino people are just fine, and would rather not have us talk about their hemorrhoids.
Camino doesn't support the Zoom button on my M$ keyboard, too, but that's not a big deal.

You're welcome.

I wish it was the other way 'round -- I love the save as text function in Camino and miss it greatly in Safari.
