Copy link

Consider:

A1="A
B1="B

If you copy and just handle the plaintext clipboard, you see "A\t"B, which your system treats as a single cell.

The correct way to handle this is to look at the HTML clipboard, because that has the correct content:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
