[TextMate] XHTML paste

I'm seeing something like this, too -- a paste into TextMate loses all
newlines and winds up as one long line.  However, I think I'm only
noticing it when I paste from Firefox.

So, here's a repeatable example:

    * Open Firefox to http://instiki.org/
    * Click "Edit Page" at the bottom.
    * Select all in the editable textarea.
    * Paste into a TextMate window

... you should see that all the newlines have disappeared.

I haven't been able to make this paste problem happen yet copying from
anything except Firefox.

Interestingly, if you save the TextMate buffer to a file (leaving it
as is, with the newlines gone), then close the window and re-open it
in TextMate ... the newlines have been preserved in the underlying
file and now show up.

I hope that helps, I assume the original poster is seeing something
along these lines and that this is not a separate but related issue.
