Copied text have extra line breaks

[xzfghvftgh]

Text copied from a browser or libreoffice (maybe other office softwares as well), will have extra line breaks, even if the original text does not have any line breaks.

Likewise, copying from a web page to libreoffice (where no newlines appear) and then copying to anytype still results in extra line breaks, and the text in one paragraph appears in a same block.

Likewise, copying from a web page to libreoffice (where no newlines appear) and then copying to anytype still results in extra line breaks, and the text in one paragraph appears in a same block.

Example:

Before:

@xzfghvftgh Hi! I can’t reproduce your case. Can you send me a link with the instance of the text that has extra lines after pasting in Anytype?

[Oshyan]

Can you try pasting as plain text? Ctrl-Shift-V works on Windows in most cases. Not sure about Mac.

@Oshyan Thank you for the advice! I have tried but the text pasted without any line breaks.
