In WebView, If you use the clipboard perform inter-process communication, it is broken line separator of multi-line text.
Input: 123 [LF] 456 [LF] 789
In the case of the same process: 123 [CR] [LF] 456 [CR] [LF] 789
In the case of different processes: 123 [CR] [CR] [LF] 456 [CR] [CR] [LF] 789
This problem makes it difficult to interoperability of the desktop application.
Start two following test applications at the same time, you can see the problem by using the clipboard.
