Description

I tried the new pasting feature listed in #4379, and I found that the behavior is changed when I copy & paste from Excel.

Before, the borders of Excel cell was reflected in the CKEditor, but in the pasting branch, borders are no more copied.

Summary: Behavior for pasting from Excel is changed in 'pasting' branch[IE] Behavior for pasting from Excel is changed in 'pasting' branch

TextRange.execCommand('paste') is used in new pasting feature, but it generates different html codes than document.execCommand('paste') which was used in current CKEditor release.

Try attached code with IE, copy a bordered cell from Excel and click 'paste' button.

  • document.execCommand('paste') generates following table
    <TABLE style="WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=64 x:str>
    <COLGROUP>
    <COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64>
    <TBODY>
    <TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17>
    <TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; 
    BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 48pt; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid;
     BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid" class=xl24 height=17 width=64><FONT 
    size=2>test</FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
    
  • TextRange.execCommand('paste') generates following, border-* and background-color style is disappeared
    <TABLE style="WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=64 x:str>
    <COLGROUP>
    <COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64>
    <TBODY>
    <TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17>
    <TD style="WIDTH: 48pt; HEIGHT: 12.75pt" class=xl24 height=17 width=64>test</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

@pomu0325 Thanks for the discovery, that's very important for us, I have even noticed the difference when coding in the paste branch and the missing style is far not limited to 'border-', we may sometimes missing 'margin-' as I experienced before.

Found another approach which could avoid using the weird TextRange.execCommand('paste').
Changes are committed with [4482] at paste branch.

@pomu0325 I believe I've fixed the excel pasting issue as well, but would ask you to attach the sample excel file for confirmation.

It outputs almost the same result as 3.0.1, besides <p>&nbsp;</p> is inserted at the very beginning.

<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 48pt; border-collapse: collapse" 
width="64" x:str="">
	<tbody>
		<tr height="17" style="height: 12.75pt">
			<td class="xl24" height="17" style="border-bottom: windowtext 0.5pt 
solid; border-left: windowtext 0.5pt solid; background-color: transparent; width: 48pt; height: 
12.75pt; border-top: windowtext 0.5pt solid; border-right: windowtext 0.5pt solid" width="64">

				test</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
	<colgroup>
		<col style="width: 48pt" width="64" />
	</colgroup>
</table>

The problem described at this ticket was the inline style lost issue, instead of anything else, which would desire other tickets. The empty paragraph issue mentioned here is supposed to be fixed at #3105.

I see your point. As far as Excel pasting issue, fix confirmed.

Ok... we'll be handling it at the pasting branch at this point.
