Description danielax 2012-02-25 02:34:56 UTC 
Problem description: 

When attempting to paste in a HTML table copied from Firefox or Chrome on Mac OS X, the background colours of cells are lost.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Create a blank, empty spreadsheet.

1. With Firefox or Chrome, select and copy a table, or part thereof, that contains cells with a background colour. I'm using <http://dja.ucc.asn.au/spreadsheetbug.html> because I'm using it in another bug report (#46605). 
[Note you may need to tell your browser to view my page as unicode: the first column should be a triangle, not gibberish]

2. Click on A1, paste.

Current behavior:
Background colours are lost. All other formatting is OK.

Expected behavior:
The pasted table is equivalent to the HTML table. 

Note that pasting the same thing into TextEdit keeps the background colour, so it is making it into the clipboard and not getting dropped at the browser.

[This bug does not affect copying from Safari. However, copying from that results in a different bug: #46605.]

Platform (if different from the browser): Mac OS X 10.6.8
              
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.11
Also affects Firefox 10.0.2

Thanks for bugreport
Reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit and in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 32 bit
In both cases copied from Firefox
Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproducible

What is interesting: LibreWriter and msExcel 2007 paste this as plain text
