Build Identifier: 3.6.2 The snippet below takes a raw html string and sets it on the SWT Clipboard. When you paste this Clipboard into TextEdit, it displays the raw HTML string instead of rendering the HTML. If on the other hand you display the same html in a browser (save the raw html to an html file an open with Firefox) copy and paste it into TextEdit, it will render the HTML. Examining the HTML content in the Clipboard Viewer.app (utility previously available in the dev toolkit on Mac 10.5) shows that the clipboard contents are different for the "public.html" type. The SWT generated clipboard contains a period char after ever char, while the browser generated clipboard does not. :: SWT Clipboard html details :: public.html Apple HTML pasteboard type public.utf16-plain-text 'utxt' (CorePasteboardFlavorType 0x7574784) public.utf8-plain-text NSStringPboardType com.ibm.traditional-mac-plain-text 'TEXT' (CorePasteboardFlavorType 0x54455854) 268 bytes of public.html that I copied from Clipboard Viewer.app: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

I think this problem caused by HTMLTransfer in swt-carbon,swt-cocoa hasn't this problem. In carbon HTMLTransfer.javaToNative,It use the following code to transfer the String object to an byte array. string.getChars(0, count, chars, 0); byte[] buffer = new byte[chars.length * 2]; OS.memmove(buffer, chars, buffer.length); transferData.data = new byte[1][]; transferData.data[0] = buffer; I have debug these code,it will transfer the String to an byte array use charset "UTF-16LE" in MAC. The "UTF-16LE" and "UTF-16BE" charset hasn't the "Byte order mark" character at the beginning of the array.So the MAC can not decode these two charsets correctly,It cause this problem. If we use String.getBytes("UTF-8") or String.getBytes("UTF-16") instead the String-byte array transfer code in HTMLTransfer.javaToNative, It will works correctly.We can also add "Byte order mark" character at the beginning of the UTF-16LE/UTF-16BE array to fixed this problem. FYI: Input html String: <html><head></head><body><div id=\"ltsample\">This is some <i>html</i> text.
