    Description

      When pasting formatted text from a text editor such as Notepad++ and/or Sublime text editors into the description using the Visual Editor the following may happen:

      Anything starting with a Tab will be duplicated and line end/return will be ignored
      Pre paste:

           hello
      world.
      isn't this
      a beautiful day?

      Post paste:

      hello helloworld.isn't this a beautiful day?

      Anything starting with a special character will be duplicated and line end/return will be ignored
      Pre Paste:

      <random>
          <more>
              <text>

      Post paste:

      <random><random> <more> <text>

      Using the Text editor does not cause this issue, only the visual editor.

       

      Work around:

      Right click near the cursor, paste your formatted text.

      OR

      Use the Text editor to paste formatted text will also semi-respect and maintain the format.
