Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new page using any browser
- Type a text bold
- Select the text and bold the text
- Select the bold text and copy it
- Place your cursor after bold text (besides letter d)
- Ensure that the bold icon is turned on/selected and then press ENTER to go to the second paragraph
- Paste the text
- Copy the text that you pasted in the previous step
- Paste the text into the third paragraph
Expected Results
Bold texts should be displayed normally in Firefox. There should be no difference between the first, second, and third bold texts.
Actual Results
Instead, the texts are displayed in Firefox or IE as the following:
The second bold text is stronger than the first one
In Chrome, the texts are shown without any difference.
Environment Information
Chrome 26, Firefox 19, IE 9
Tested on Confluence 4.3.x and 5.0.x
Findings
By inspecting the Storage Format, we can see that the <strong> tags are used twice in the second paragraph, and thrice in the third paragraph.
<p> <strong>bold</strong> </p> <p> <strong> <strong>bold</strong> </strong> </p> <p> <strong> <strong> <strong> <strong>bold</strong> </strong> </strong> </strong> </p>
Workaround
Ensure that the bold icon in the editor is not selected/turned on when pasting a bold text

added a comment - The problem still happens in Confluence 6.1.2 with IE and Firefox. To reproduce this bug, should be follow steps from original instruction. This problem still happens in Confluence 5.8.13. It does not happen when using Chrome, but does happen with Firefox 42, IE9 and IE11.
I can't reproduce it using the exact steps listed in this issue. However, I can easily reproduce it by doing the following:
- Type some text in the editor and make it bold.
- Copy the bold text.
- Click somewhere in the middle of the bold text, OR in the middle of some bold text elsewhere on the page.
- Paste
- The pasted text will now be "double bold".
In Confluence 5.3.4 I no longer see a visual issue. While the source still shows the nested <strong>-text (for instance <strong>te<strong>test</strong>st</strong> it at least no-longer results in a double-bolt text. So visually the issue is resolved in 5.3.4 as far as I can tell.
Content-wise however it still persists IMO, because pasting bold text into existing bold text seems to be kinda weird to produce this content. For us the issue has been resolved however.
Running Confluence 4.3.7 I can confirm this issue. Can't tell the behavior in later Confluence releases though (tested with FF 35.0.1). Will likely post an update once we can upgrade to a later Confluence version.
Hi Steve,
I am very sorry to say that, but I am able to reproduce this one on Confluence 5.4.3 on Firefox 17.0.11. I will add a screenshot.

Paula
