Hi! That's a nice catch, but not sure if a bug exactly :)

Just to clarify: When you copy a multi line text from Rocket.Chat and paste it (tested on VSCODE), it will indeed add a blank line between lines.

Example: 123 456 789 111 222 333

When I pasted in LibreOffice, however, it didn't added the space.

This is because Rocket.Chat will render the message like this:

<p>123</p>
<p>456</p>
<p>789</p>
<p>111</p>
<p>222</p>
<p>333</p>

and not like this

123<br />
456<br />
789<br />
111<br />
222<br />
333<br />

While both can represent the same, it will depend on how the receiving party will render that while receiving the information.
