Copying text from the script editor is problematic on more than one platform.

Over here "in the wilds of Linux" it is not possible to copy-paste directly from the script editor
into anything but a simple text editor.

For instance; if I want to paste code from the script editor into Thunderbird (my e-mail client) I have to paste it into a text editor and then copy-paste from there into Thunderbird (a double bounce,
so to say). The same sort of thing into a Libre Office document, and so on.

I’m noticing that with LiveCode 8, copying scripts from the Script Editor and 
pasting it into other applications on the Mac yields text that displays 
differently than pre-LC 8.

Pasting it into Apple Mail puts it as double-spaced. Copying it from Mail puts 
it back into the Script Editor as double spaced:

on mouseUp

doThis

thenDoThis

followedByThis

end mouseUp


Apple TextEdit is OK:

on mouseUp
    doThis
    thenDoThis
    followedByThis
end mouseUp

Pasting it into Tex-Edit Plus yields a single line with feed characters.

Is this worth making a fuss over?
