Often when I write post to forum,  I use hotkeys to cut and paste text. This irritates me: every time when I paste the text, there are added two line feeds.

 

So like now, I am writing text e.g. "Sometimes when I write post, or often"... want to change it to "Sometimes or often when I write post, " and instead of it I get:

 

"Sometimes or often

 

when I write post, "

... This looks like banality, but because I do these edits many times during writing, e.g. least 2-4 times during one post, I need to correct it every time. It really irritates me and I see no reason to keep it so. I see it as bug, even that it can be purpose, but it is bug, because it is not normal behaviour. Any normal textarea or editor behaves in the way, that you just paste the text which is in clipboard (except cases that you need to strip the tags).

I can confirm this behaviour and that this problem occurs in the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer. The problem must be caused by the forum.

I posted it inside the forum issues & glitches thread.

It is better , but still when I paste so I see two new breaked breaked lines (breaked lines). When I need to correct I must press arrow down and then 2x backspace

I use this as a temporary solution:

 

 

F1::  ; paste text only...
SendInput, %clipboard% 
Return

 

Solves my issues for the moment...

Doesn't work for me... It seems that this moves all line breaks to the end..?

 

Edit: only works if i copy texts without line breaks...

You are right, never tried this with multiple lines, only with single lines....

If you use the 'Paste as plain text by default' option you dot get any trouble with it.

Its avaidable in the options of the Editor.

IMHO, that's not a solution, because I talk about using usual hotkeys like ctrl+v and shift+insert
