v1.15.0.0 Scratchpad: ctrl-x and ctrl-v on multiline causes new lines

[Shuro]

Preparation:

Expected behavior: STRG-C cuts the content, STRG-V pastes it, as before.

Actual behavior: It adds whitespaces inbetween lines.

Yea, so this is unfortunately a problem with ImGUI that I can't really resolve without a massive amount of work. The new lines in the multiline textbox actually have several hidden characters in it for markers because ImGUI doesn't support wrapping multiline textboxes so I have to handle the wrapping manually by adding these hidden characters. Unfortunately, that means using Ctrl+X copies these hidden characters where the "Copy" button doesn't. So when you paste the lines into the multiline text, it wraps the already wrapped text.

Maybe as a stopgap I can have a "Copy All" option. Maybe do it as a right click menu on the multiline textbox that way it copies without the hidden characters? I'll experiment a little.

Okay yes, that explains the problem and also explains how I manage to sometimes mess up the text when I go somewhere and change something. I wanted to create a ticket for that too, but I cannot reproduce it. Might be related to those hidden characters.

Yea. It happens every now and then you somehow manage to get the caret between hidden characters and enter text there. I have a few things in place to prevent it from happening as much as possible but there is only so much I can do, lol.

I think it is when you change something at the end of the box. So causing text changes in that area of the textbox. I also noticed that sometimes, you cannot add a space behind a word if you edit inbetween. Might be related to that characters too. But I do not know an solution, not a C# dev sadly.
