Regarding ONLY your comment:
"I already tested and found no bug."
I don't think anyone suggested there was a bug, where we're all simply
openly and honestly discussing a, oh, shall we say, "quirk" in the system.
 The problem you have with ctrl-A in Notepad++ after pasting html from Chrome.
Hi Carlos, I'm gonna remove the mac folks in the fup because they've not participated
save to troll us, but after discussing this with Lawrence, and using
Occam's Razor to put all the data together, I don't think anyone has
suggested that graphical Linux editors have the same control+A disabling.
So I think I agree now that there may well be a bug in how Windows hands
the text from Chromium (but not from Firefox) to Scintilla/Notepad++.
In keeping with the original SUBJECT of this thread, where Firefox and
Chromium run on all common consumer platforms (well, not on iOS), my best
guess is that Firefox's HTML fragment is simpler and hence Firefox's
HTML fragment does not trigger the buggy Windows conversion path.
Who knows how many $EDITORs are affected... --
      How wonderful that we have met with a paradox.         Now we have some hope of making progress.
