copy paste OL element in browser

When I copy text that has been displayed from an "ol" ordered list
element on a web page in firefox, and paste it into notepad, the text is
copied but the numbers are not. To me this seems like a problem, what do
you think?

If you don't believe me try it at

https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_lists_ordered

The code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>An ordered HTML list</h2>
<ol>
   <li>Coffee</li>
   <li>Tea</li>
   <li>Milk</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

What it comes out when copied from the web page displayed (not from the
source) and pasted into notepad is

     Coffee
     Tea
     Milk

not

1. Coffee
2. Tea
3. Milk

The latter would be better I think
