Prevent copy function when adding <tab> when copying text to <TD>

Question

I find that if I copy text from a web page and the text is inside a table cell, it is usually considered that the tab will be previously transferred to the copied text.

Example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>I want to copy this</td>
</tr>
</table>

When I copy and paste to another place, I get:

      I want to copy this

Is there an effective strategy to prevent this?

Answer 1

You can paste it into a text editor or into the URL bar to remove the strange encoding, and then paste it back to where its final destination will be. This is also not a very important issue.
