for the record - web serving originated with Unix systems and the html
tags of <P> and <BR> were the only method of breaking paragraphs/lines
and thus, it was the original standard to have text flow to the limits
of the window and not an artificial line wrap. Only word processors that
try to conform to a printed page with margins insert artificial line
feeds/carriage returns or both. Similarly, a real text editor would not
insert these artificial line wraps onto the clip board when the text is
selected and copied so the OP should consider this to be the intended
behavior.
