through the browser pasted text looses linebreaks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open shellinabox on server and login
2. open vi with new document
3. copy a simple text containing linebreaks on the client system to the 
clipboard, for example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
foobar
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Switch back to shellinabox in your browserwindow (don't forget to press "i" in 
vi to start editing).
Paste the clipboard to shellinabox by clicking the menu item "paste" in the 
browser menu (under "edit", I guess).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
foobar
</td>
</tr>
</table>

instead:
<table> <tr> <td> foobar </td> </tr> </table>

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Client: Firefox 5.0, Windows XP SP3
Server: Debian 6, shellinabox 2.10
