Summary

In Windows copying content from multiline text custom fields, comments or description containing multiple lines of text from a Jira issue adds in various spaces in random locations on the Paste action when copied from Chrome, Edge, or Internet Explorer 11, this causes overhead in reformatting content when trying to share information between Jira and alternate platforms.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Copy multi line text from jira
2. Paste the values into another application such as a text editor like notepad or notepad++

Expected Results

Formatting maintained

Actual Results

Chrome:

word
word<Space added here>
word<Space added here>
word<Space added here>

IE 11:

word
<Space added here>word
<Space added here>word
<Space added here>word

Edge (Same behavior as Chrome):

word
word<Space added here>
word<Space added here>
word<Space added here>

Notes

Using Notepad++ View >> show symbol >> Show all characters you can see this is occuring on a Carriage return then a line feed "/r/n" behavior on Windows OS

Workaround

This works without issue if copied from FireFox, and only affects Windows OS, and some Linux OS but Mac copy paste is not impacted, EXE of the behavior in various scenarios can be seen here:
