Bug when copy-pasting text from other places

Posted 5 years, 1 month ago (Edited 5 years, 1 month ago) by Darkmaster006

Hello, I would like to inform of a bug that happens when you copy a text and then paste it here. When you copy a text from the web 'RPNation', it comes out like this:

<code>
Baking. Crochet. Piano. Drawing. Origami. Overall manual stuff. Isn’t  too good with numbers or thinking battle strategies, she has a lot to  learn about that. She will often think one move is better than another  only to change her mind a day later. She’s bad at reacting fast against  adversity.
</code>

Compare it with the one pasted from LibreOffice 5, which is:


[Code]
Baking. Crochet. Piano. Drawing. Origami. Overall manual stuff. Isn’t too good with numbers or thinking battle strategies, she has a lot to learn about that. She will often think one move is better than another only to change her mind a day later. She’s bad at reacting fast against adversity.
[/code]

Do you see how those two differ? There's a bunch of spaces in the first one that shouldn't be there. Moreover, if we past something formatted from LibreOffice 5, let's say with Bold or Underlined, it comes out as:

[code]
There, Hayato,her father, worked as a sailor.
As for her mother,Motoko, she was a Pokemon researcher and innovator.  while her father gave her aVivillon—Elegant Pattern—
[/code]

So, it eats up the spaces only sometimes when there's a bold or an underlining. Or course, the original is like this:


[code]
There, Hayato, her father, worked as a sailor.
As for her mother, Motoko, she was a Pokemon researcher and innovator.  while her father gave her a Vivillon—Elegant Pattern—
[/code]

Funnily enough, if you copy-paste from RPN, you wont get these buggy non-spaces where formatting is present, but you'll get random added spaces.

So, well, I'm not sure why this could be happening (or if any other webs cause this when copy-pasting) but I'd like to bring it up and hopefully you'll find a solution.

When I am pasting anything from a google doc into WYSIWYG it always turns out bolded only, even though none of the text is bolded and some of it is underlined. That’s the reason I haven’t posted much of my literature, since it’s so annoying to fix it once I paste it.

Glad I wasn't the only one, it does need to be fixed! I want to transfer my charas profiles into here but it's a pain having to check and re-check four double spaces or no spaces or bold where there shouldn't be or no bold where there should be and stuff like that! Let's hope this gets attention and a fix soon.

@NihilistTiger it also happens when copy-pasting stuff from inside the site?? Now that's even weirder ugh.

Yeah, copy and pasting is a pain here :/ I can't even paste profile coding, I have to type it all out ;.;

Any chance this could be fixed? It's kind of an important feature to have.

i always tend to copy + paste my things into notepad first, to get rid of the formatting. then copy + paste that into the place where it needs to go. works just about every time for me when i do that. (: don't know if that's a solution you're looking for, but it's definitely worth a try if you don't mind an extra step.

i do the same but with libreoffice, yet it's quite a pain anyways and shouldn't be necessary.
