Copied tables from richedits are displayed incorrectly

[tomr]

Hello TRichview Support,
While working with tables in Richedits, I had the following issue:
I have inserted a table from Excel into a Richedit. Now I want to copy the table from the richedit into an E-Mail.

If I start the selection from the left side, copy it, and paste it into my E-Mail, the table is displayed incorrectly.

If I start the selection from the opposite side (right to left), copy it, and paste it into my E-Mail, everything is fine.

As you can see in the screenshots I could reproduce this issue with the richviewactiontest demo project. Is there anything I can do to solve this?

Kind regards

It's not the direction that matters.
There two kinds of selection:
1. Table as a whole object. You can select the table as a whole object (maybe together with surrounding items, or maybe only the table). You can start selection to the left of the table and end to the right of it. Or vice versa. Or in vertical direction.
2. All table cells. You can select cells in the table (maybe all cells). To select all cells, you can start from the top left cell and end to the bottom right. Or vice versa. Just start from one corner and end at the opposite corner.

These kinds of selection look identically it TRichViewEdit, but they are different.
When copying as RVF, both kinds of selection are copied identically. as a table.
When copying as text, both kinds of selection are copied identically. as text from all selected cells.
When copying as RTF, only the first kind of selection is implemented.
What's why, if you copy to non-TRichViewEdit editor:
- the first kind of selection is copied via RTF as a table
- the second kind of selection is copied as a plain text.
