  In a cell with multiple lines, highlighting a single line by double clicking and then copying the line, copies all the content start from highlighted line until the end of cell.

  Steps to reproduce

  • In the editor add multiple lines by adding line breaks thru Ctrl + Enter
  • Select (highlight) a single line by double clicking
  • Copy the content and paste into a new cell
  • All content start from highlighted line until the end of the cell are copied into the clipboard

  Ideally the clipboard copy must copy only the content within the user selection.

  Hi Karthikraj,

  DevTeam has informed us that this is a limitation of SpreadJS as Spread editor uses br element inside span to display multiple lines whereas normal contenteditable div uses child div element to display multiple lines.
