Strange copy/paste in editor on mac os x

Postby IT2Be » Thu Dec 18, 2008 2:03 pm

When I copy/paste a piece of code and I start the selection at the end of a previous line, the source will not paste!?

The source IS copied. When I paste it into a text editor, select and copy again, it will paste.

It must have something to do with line enter or so...

if the first character of the clipboard is a line break, the clipboard content won't paste as you expect. been an issue for a while. probably a mac only bug.

on windows this also happens, it does paste something but it is just the line break.
