I notice that when I am copying and pasting text on a thread that I am working on, I lose the formatting. What i mean by that, if i have formulas spaced out (entered and tabbed), I loses all that information when i copy paste, it becomes word wrapped paragraph with no enter/tab justification.

Lately I have typing into a notepad file as an intermediate step to keep things justified, which is inefficient, since I constantly make updates to open study threads (without going back to edit the notepad file).

kainui · Answer

Yeah a thousand times this, what @Nnesha said. That's probably the most annoying glitch to have come out of nowhere lately. In fact, that's why it's #2 on this active thread @Preetha : http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5451d48fe4b0a717ff60115d

@Preetha  This is not a glitch persay, it is how the program copies pastes.

lets say I post a comment like this

testing
testing 
testing


NOw if i copy and paste the above, in the next comment, it will 'word wrap' it.

perl · Answer

I use justification (return, tabs, etc) often in my comments, for purposes of readability and clarity. so if i copy and paste a previous formula lets say, i have to go back and manually press return at each place i need a new line, which is time consuming.

also it would be nice to be able to edit previous comments as well. 
but i wanted to focus on this copy paste word wrap phenomenon.

i dont know the precise term for this, it loses formatting when you copy paste?
