This only happens on d-programming-language.org.

If you try to copy&paste the first snippet from here:
http://d-programming-language.org/phobos/std_range.html

Pasted:
R r; // can define a range object if (r.empty) {} // can test for empty
r.popFront; // can invoke next auto h = r.front; // can get the front of the
range 

Note that Bugzilla might add its own newlines to limit text width. But there's
no newlines where there should be.

Copying from here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_range.html

Pasted:
R r;             // can define a range object
if (r.empty) {}  // can test for empty
r.popFront;          // can invoke next
auto h = r.front; // can get the front of the range

On digitalmars.com it works ok.

This is weird. If I try to copy code samples from
http://d-programming-language.org/expression.html, newlines aren't saved.

But when I compile expression.html from my local branch, and copy a sample from
my local
file:///D:/dev/git/projects/d-programming-language.org/expression.html, then
newlines *are* saved.

I wonder what's causing this behavior..

Where are you pasting the snippets of code? I'm using Opera (Win 7) and the
text from http://d-programming-language.org/phobos/std_range.html is correctly
pasted in a plethora of text editors, and text boxes from web pages.

I also tested http://d-programming-language.org/expression.html and it seems to
work right.

WORKSFORME.

Using Firefox10 when I copy and paste I don't see newlines, so I confirm the
problem.

In a text editor that recognizes any form of newlines.

I can confirm that it works ok in Opera, but not in Firefox. So this is some
sort of browser compatibility issue.

Very puzzling.  Clearly it's a bug in Firefox, so there should be a bug report
somewhere on b.m.o for it.  The question is what exactly is triggering it to
bite.

But it seems to be happening only when viewing the page online - I haven't been
able to reproduce it on a local copy of the page even after adding a base tag
to make sure it gets all the CSS.

It also stops happening if I disable JavaScript.  It would seem that the
listanchors function (an abomination anyway) is doing something funny to the
DOM under FF - after all, for some obscure reason it gets stuck in the load of
my local copy and so listanchors isn't called.

They seem to work for me now. Can bearophile and Stewart confirm?

If I go in this page with the latest version of Firefox:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm.html

And I copy the first example I get no newlines:

int[] a = ...; static bool greater(int a, int b) { return a > b; }
sort!(greater)(a); // predicate as alias sort!("a > b")(a); // predicate as
string // (no ambiguity with array name) sort(a); // no predicate, "a < b" is
implicit

Still failing for me (Firefox 18.0.2 Win32).  Andrej - what version are you
using?
