Copy/Paste not work on article editor for IE?
-
I am trying to post a new article. When I copy some text from Notepad and paste the text to CodeProject article editor, all the current text inside the editor is shrinked to one single big paragraph. For example, if following is the current text inside the editor: Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2. Line 2 in paragraph 2. Line 3. Now if I paste the text abcd to be after Line3, the editor will become this: Line 1 in paragraph 1; line 2.Line 2 in paragraph 2.Line 3.abcd I have posted a few articles before and never had this problem. Is there any setting I have missed?

Which browser? Also, are you pasting into design (WYSIWYG) mode or in HTML view mode?

Internet Explorer, both version 9 and 10. I am pasting into design mode. What do you mean by HTML view mode? Do you mean the HTML editor? Yes, I can modify the raw HTML text, but that is soooo painful.

The raw HTML. So you paste something like
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Into the WYSIWYG editor and it comes out as
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
Is that right?

When it's working on IE11/Win8.1, I get the HTML formatting that you mentioned above, and while that's a little annoying (because it's hard to find stuff when going into HTML view), I can live with that. But to me, the "copy/paste doesn't work" line actually means that sometimes (read: very frequently) when I copy/paste into WYSIWYG/design view, the paste action crashes IE and on restarting IE, I have lost all of my edits since the last save. That made using design-view impossible, and HTML view just doesn't fly for a long article. This is why I decided to write my article in Expression Web and then send CP the file when it was done. Not sure if this belongs here or in the Site Bugs forum... ?
