[Safari] Paste URL/Link from Twitter or other browser doesn't work

[Mark Wade]

On the default Twitter App on Mac OS X, copy a link to a tweet (right-click > Copy Link To Tweet) and try to paste it into CKEditor - nothing appears.

Reproducible only on Safari.

---

1. Open Chrome and browse to a URL, copy the URL from the address bar to the clipboard
2. Switch to Safari and open CKEditor
3. Attempt to paste the URL into CKEditor

Results: It is not possible to paste URL from Chrome to Safari. It works however with Chrome/Chrome or Safari/Chrome or even Firefox/Safari but not Chrome/Safari.

I see the link pasted (it's pasted as text). Checked on ​http://ckeditor.com/demo on Chrome and Twitter 3.0.1.

On which browser do you test it, how do you paste it (ctrl+v?) and what's your CKEditor build and configuration?

[Mark Wade]

Browser is Safari Version 7.0.4 (9537.76.4) - can reproduce on the demo. Am pasting with cmd+v.

That is a Safari bug unfortuantely. It pastes:

You can check it on ​https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/blob/master/plugins/clipboard/dev/clipboard.html sample.

We will need to report it on the Webkit bug tracker.
