The Thunderbird text editor does not consistently allow copying and paste a table from Word. More generally, its text editor is full of bugs and anomalies, such as arbitrarily setting text to a different font.

HI blueduck,

Currently some formats are not supported in Thunderbird. I apologize for the inconvenience.

This add on might help : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thun.../copy%20table

As recently as December 30, 2013, I was able to copy LibreOffice calc data and paste it w/o problems into Tbird messages. Formatting, merged cells, all came across perfectly. I've been doing this for a long time (over a year at the least) without problems.

Now when I copy and try pasting nothing at all happens ... as in literally nothing changes in the email.

It's really frustrating when something this basic gets broken. If you know what version I'd have to revert to until it's fixed (and where to get the download), that would be great.

Don't know if it helps having the following, but just in case:

  • Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
  • Tbird 24.3.0
  • LibreOffice 4.2.0.4
