Problem copying text from HTML

[Derrick Phillips]

When I copy text from an html page and paste it in my document, I has a white background that I can’t get rid of. It’s not a box, it’s tied to the text.  Is there a way to paste without format?

thanks.

It’s an issue with affinity. There is no currently no setting in the ui to turn off text background colour on imported text. 
Fortunately there is a workaround.
Draw a new text box, type a letter, select the letter and tap Edit/Copy. Then select the text box with coloured background and tap Edit/Paste Style. This will replace the coloured background with default clear background from your copied text block.

Yesterday I wasted many hours trying to solve this, I can't believe they haven't implemented something so basic, if it's on the desktop version.

Yes, at times it’s hard to understand where their priorities lay. There’s even a space in the text menu area where an icon would naturally fit for this feature to be applied. 🙁
