closed Long text pasting as images

[piemadd]

As some know, such as @colonel_mortis and @Ryan_Vickers, I have been trying to break the forum. After the latest patch, long strings of rich text will paste as pictures.

 

Example:

 

if you cannot see, that is around 7,450 letter 'a's.

1. I can not see

2. Why does it matter, why would someone paste long strings of text?

2. To break the forum.

That's very odd... I don't see it causing problems but it should probably be fixed.  Or, I'm not sure "fixed" is the right word since I doubt this is technically a "bug", it's probably a feature that no one wants

I know it's a joke but this genuinely seem like one of those things.  I mean, hopefully even non-programmers would recognize that text mysteriously turning into an image doesn't just "happen".... someone would have had to add special handling for that.

Where are you pasting from (what program or site)?

What browser+OS are you using?

If you use Ctrl+Shift+V, does it paste as plain text?

ok we are good

Can you now paste it into the input on http://madebyevan.com/clipboard-test/ (in the same way that you would paste it here so that it turns into an image), then send me a screenshot of the output?

Sorry, that means it's OneNote's fault, because it's copying the text as an image as well as plain text, and the forum prefers images over plain text because that allows you to paste images directly into the editor rather than it just pasting a local URL to the image, which wouldn't work for anyone else. It shouldn't happen when copying content from other media.

I don't have MS Word installed on this computer, but could you just make sure that pasting works as expected from Word (if it doesn't, something should be done to fix it)?

Great. When you paste from OneNote, does the "you've pasted content with formatting" banner show up? If so, does clicking it reset it to text or just remove it?

Thanks, I've reported that as a bug since clicking the remove formatting banner seems like the logical way to fix it.

ah, nice, I guessed right 

I've seen special copy/paste behaviour from certain apps before and I always suspected it was the "sender's" responsibility. 

Upon reading back it looks like I never actually explained my theory lol well I was thinking it, I promise
