innerText or Similar Removes Double Spaces

[wbotelhos]

🐛 Bug Report

Expected Behaviour

Given a <div>Multiple Spaces</div>
When I copy the content of it
Then I should get Multiple Spaces

Actual Behaviour

Given a <div>Multiple Spaces</div>
When I copy the content of it
Then I actually get Multiple Spaces

To Reproduce

1. Add any two or more space for a element content
2. Execute the copy command
3. You'll get a squished text

Browsers Affected

1. Brave
2. Chrome

Not tested others

Operational System

13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a) Apple M2

Temporary Solutions

Set the text into an attribute like data-clipboard-text instead use a tag content. By the way the browser squish it too, so display the text for a plain user copy is not a cool thing.

Question

Is there any way of add a innerText or innerHTML option?

@wbotelhos, that's a great catch. I'm planning to contribute to some open issues. Soon I will be triaging it and proposing a fix.
