  Hi!

  In HTML edit mode, there are two HTML automatic reformating behaviors very annoying when I paste HTML code from my html editor:

  1. Text lines are cut.
     It is completly useless and a real headache.
  2. Spaces at the beginning of the lines are removed.
     That is a pain with programming texts (they contain vertical alignments on all lines).

  These two reformatings are useless and forces me to re-edit all the text by hand.
  I waste 15 minutes to reformat it at least.

  Thank you

  Hm.. please forget the first suggestion as it was a problem with my html editor (Kompozer). For the second, it is unclear for now.

  Sorry.

  If you are trying to post sourcecode, are you using the procedure outlined here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/ ?

  Thank you for the answer.

  I think there is a bug in Kompozer, so I will search for a workaround.

  OK, there is something in WP that causes a problem:
  The line feedings are not taken in account in a HTML navigator while they are converted into new lines by WP.

  Example:
  This HTML source code:
  rlmhkjmdfjh oij dhodrij horitj hoprijg rsgioj perjigozjreg porjg
eoprjeg oprjegopzjegpor ejgoirej goirje gopzrjge opzjreoirej goprjeg

zprgji zerjgi zergji zpergi zeorgjisoîrvnzop,fvô qesc,^ij,x ôi,dv
osrven opixvn pos vopsj vfporvj oisrjv.

  is displayed as one long text line by an HTML navigator.

  But WP convert it in 7 lines.
  Technically, WP has converted every 0x0d+0x0a in
.

  So for now I have to replace all “rn” (0x0d+0x0a) into ” ” (one space) before pasting any HTML code to WP. That is only a workaround.

  I hope that will be corrected in WP. :)

  Thank you
