Best regards.

Same behaviour here,

Using HTMLTransfer to paste HTML code copied from Chromium to an application returns illegible code.

Cheers.
Comment 2 Leo Ufimtsev CLA 2018-01-30 10:24:03 EST 
In the meantime webkit2 support was released.

See 4.8 M5.

Could you try with 4.8 M5 and webkit2?

See this guy for info:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509587

If issue still occurs, can you please post a snippet and steps to reproduce so that I can test this.

No response since this comment, closing this ticket now. Please re-open it if the issue is reproducible on 4.9/4.10 with up-to-date GTK3 and Webkit2.
