Your link requires a login, so we can't check this. From the screenshot the upper part looks like a table layout and in this case you only get the textContent if you copy plain text (text/unicode) and all whitespace collapses. I don't know what a rich-text editor (text/html) gets.

Is the underlined Källa: part a link as that is usually the case with underlined text?

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.
