So with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0ee518863337fba9bce019e05e24f527617a4321
we should now have solved all problems at once. We now allow to
copy/paste the content to external applications and shrink the area in
case of text unconditionally and in case of HTML in case of a whole
selected row or column.

I think this solution is sane and safe. We no longer mess around with
the internal copy/paste document and only adjust the cases that are
really useful and needed.

It would be good to get these two patches into 3.5.2 since they solve
a really annoying bug.

Markus
