The following tests were carried out using `wine notepad` and the Gutenberg text for "War of the Worlds" (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36/36.txt) in a native Firefox 3.0 on Ubuntu Linux. The same thing happens with Cepstral SwiftTalker.
1. select from the start of the document upto and including "BOOK ONE" - i.e. the first page or so. 2. press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard. 3. go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the clipboard.
The data is pasted correctly into the edit control.
1. select from the start of the document upto and including "CHAPTER EIGHT". 2. press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard. 3. go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the clipboard.
The data upto "way back from the edge of the pi" is pasted. The rest is missing.
1. select all of the document. 2. press Ctrl+C to copy the data to the clipboard. 3. go to notepad, and press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+V to paste the data from the clipboard.
The text "x" is pasted into the edit control.
NOTE: The text can be successfully pasted into a native application (e.g. gedit).
NOTE: Saving the text to a file (e.g. from gedit) and then loading it from the File > Open menu in notepad successfully displays all of the text.
