When I cut & past a view lines inside a RTF field (not from outside into the field), the pasted lines looses it’s formats (for example **Bold** ).

What can I do ?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi,

I show it in every Post, in the Signatur:

Servoy Version: 5.2.2 - build 1002, Win XP, PostgreSQL

You think this should work with other Versions ?

Thank you for the reply (just wanted to be sure about the Servoy version).  
Indeed this seems to be an issue; could you please file a case with our support system [here](http://crm.servoy.com/servoy-webclient/solutions/solution/servoy_support)?

I got an answer from Support System:

![:(]( "Sad")

I’m just wondering if nobody else likes to give it’s clients the possibility to Format a bit of Text ( just a Memo )…  
Is this not possible “out of the box” or do I have to buy special plugins ?
