Copy paste format issue.

Hey,


I am a copy paste junky. I know, admitting it is the first step. All jokes aside here is the issue, if I copy a post from another place and post it into the forum, the (this content has formatting would you like to remove this formatting?) button comes up. If I do not remove the formatting then and there, do it later or attempt to highlight the post and just use the tool bar to manipulate the post, it jumbles. The end of the post ends up in the middle and so on. 


To be clear, this is not the issue where the spacing between paragraphs disappear, actual sentences relocate to other places within the body of text.

Been trying to replicate this but I currently can't.


What browser/OS you using?
 
Google chrome and Windows 8, copying and pasting from a word doc seems to be the most problematic. Copying from say Google doc to the site does not always seem to create the issue, only with certain fonts, it appears. Let me play with it some more this afternoon and see if I can give you some things to try to get a  guaranteed re-creatation of the issue. @The Dark Wizard

Alright keep me posted.
 
Alright, I have been dinking around with it. I think I have some parameters for you to try. Hopefully this will recreate the issue. 


Using font Cambria in word, I then copied and pasted the post to my workshop on RpN. 


I highlighted everything and changed it to Courier New font. It scrambled the post. Below is a copy of the outcome of the issue I am seeing. (Yes, I know it a lame post. Simply, the one on top of the pile.)


Looking at them side by side now, it appears it is closely related to the bolding option. Hopefully this helps. @The Dark Wizard


Original post:


[SIZE=10pt]The comment about the suggested change in rules made even Amber offer a chuckle. Despite her current appearance, she was much in agreement with it.  [/SIZE]However, the light hearted mood had soured quickly with the latest text. She would never admit it but the inquiry on it made her chest tighten. After a beat she gave a clearly fake chuckle and stroked the phone, it was a nervous tick, she had never kicked.


[SIZE=10pt]"It is one of those complicated things. You know, like those frien-emies you need to keep around. Everyone needs haters, if you don't have haters, you're wasting your life. At least in my book."[/SIZE]







[SIZE=10pt]Still fidgeting with the phone, Amber was avoiding making eye contact with the bartender now. That is when she noticed it, a more modern version of a jukebox on a far wall. With a smile, Amber pulled open her compact wallet and found a couple spare dollars along with her debit card. Sliding the debit card across the counter, she tapped it and looked to Tess, "The freaks that go bump in the night, will have to wait. I am going to need a shot whiskey  after for this. Be right back, I have a song to play."[/SIZE]







[SIZE=10pt]Screw it, it was a full moon, either something was going to happen or not. Given the track record in the town lately it was unlikely, she was not about to let it ruin her night. One way or another, she was going to cut loose. Popping off the stool, Amber navigated her way over to the music box on the wall and got to flicking through the search option. The name came flickering up on the screen after a few moments of searching, Faderhead, "Losing for real." With a few swipes, she selected the song and fed the machine a dollar. The speakers buzzed for a moment and then the tune started up. [/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]Most of the crowd in the bar were indifferent to the song. Amber began to sway slightly with the music, clearly feeling the vibe as it pulsed through the speakers. Based off the lyrics, it was quite clearly a silent dedication to the frien-emy. Dancing all the way back, it took almost the entire length of the song to return to the counter, where she had left her phone and first drink. Once she caught Tess's attention again, she gave a smirk and nod. "Nooowww I am ready for that shot."[/SIZE]







[SIZE=10pt]The dollar had given her two tokens in the jukebox system. Amber had decided to have a little fun. Once the first song came to an end, "Oh oh oh Sexy Vampire came on." Man, she had a messed up sense of humor. Several people were not amused by the song. It had been such a pointless song before but now, talk about asking for it.[/SIZE]
