Gilescooperuk Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Pretty much as the subject says - OSX 10.14.4 AP version 1.70.292 OSX Mail running in Dark Mode Paste from email and affinity produces a block of white text, obviously the email wasn't written in white but it would be more useful if it took the original HTML rather than the displayed code... Strange one... Quote
walt.farrell Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 Strange, indeed. Have you tried Paste Without Formatting, or Paste Special..., to see if either of them helps?

Gilescooperuk Posted April 7, 2019 Author Posted April 7, 2019 Paste without formatting does work, but it doesn't help when the email is already formatted as you want to put it in the page.... (i.e. bold, italic etc) Quote

Old Bruce Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 can you switch Mail to 'normal' mode to copy the text? Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Gilescooperuk Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 Hmm just quickly tried in a new document and it appears to work - looks like my machine had a strange problem as I can't reproduce it! Definitely doing it before... Quote
Staff Gabe Posted April 24, 2019 Staff Posted April 24, 2019 I have closed this for now. If you can reproduce it, let us know. Quote
Gilescooperuk Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 I just reproduced it you can see in the video - I selected the text in the email Switched to affinity did a paste - got white text then selected the text and changed it to black Doesn't do it everytime though Screen_Recording_2019-04-27_at_22_19_32.mov Quote
Staff Gabe Posted April 29, 2019 Staff Posted April 29, 2019 This seems to be a MacOS issue, and not an Affinity issue. https://eclecticlight.co/2018/12/06/textedit-1-14-not-the-dark-mode-youd-expect/ TLDR The text is copied with that format - as white text. You would need to paste it without format Quote
