Braxton Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If I copy text with a space to the right of the text, it will add a space at the end of the pasted text. If I copy text with no space on the right but a space on the left, it will add a space on the left of the pasted text. Text copied with no spaces on either side will paste in with no additional spaces - expected result.

thomaso Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It doesn't happen here. – What if you try with the attached .afpub? copy-paste without space.afpub Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yes, it's happening for me still. Why would that be? Should I reset the program somehow? How are you viewing the invisible characters? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Invisible characters: menu Text > Show… In my previous test I selected by dragging with mouse-button pressed. When selecting with a double-click, as it seems to be your way of selection in your video, I can reproduce the issue. The issue is obviously triggered by the way I select the text. So I tried with 3 different apps: • APub, • macOS TextEdit, • Bean. APub seems to handle both double-click & ctrl-click in a wrong way: • A selection via double-click copies one space, though it isn't displayed as being selected. • With a ctrl-click APub even selects text, which feels definitely wrong to me. And it also copies the space, accordingly. TextEdit behaves similar weird: With a double-click it copies the spaces before + after whereas ctrl-click doesn't select and the copy command in the context menu is greyed out. Bean works as expected for both ways. It doesn't copy a space with double-click and it doesn't select with ctrl-click. copy-paste space_in 3 apps.m4v Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
