Hello there,
I am bringing this up because it has been a long time issue now and we were talking about it in another thread and the thread started suggested starting a new thread for this issue which is a little different. The one talked about in that thread is about color for text inside 'code' tags, this one is about loosing spaces when pasting text with more than one space in it.
First, it appears to work ok when we type the text in the forum text editor although i havent tested this extensively.
So if we select Courier New and use code tags and type the following:
wordA wordB
we get exactly 5 spaces between those two words which i will enumerate here:
wordA12345wordB
and the above should line up with the first line when copy and pasted:
wordA wordB
wordA12345wordB
and as you can see already it does not. Both lines were copy and pasted RIGHT FROM THIS VERY EDITOR not even from another editor.
Try it inside code tags:
and as you can see it still does not line up. If i paste it into another editor however, it works fine.
So the problem only appears when someone pastes text into the editor. That means it falls under the menu event "Paste" and should not be too hard to fix.
Also, the text font seems to change by itself too. As you can see i am no longer typing in the font Courier New, it changed to something else by itself.
I would appreciate it if this could be fixed as it is very bothersome. As you can see it changed back to Courier New by itself again
Thanks much.
