Copying source code: line break missing

Question

Hi,

I don't know since when this changed, but whenever I copy source code from the forum, like in the first message here

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/087d67ed-8a02-4ba4-8abf-7c4c48b248f8/first-form-showing-behind-other-windows

and paste it to any editor (Visual Studio IDE, Wordpad, others), the line breaks are missing.

As manually inserting line breaks in order to be able to continue support is very time expensive, this problem should be fixed quickly.

Thanks.

Armin

Hi,

There must be something strange with how the code was pasted into the editor. I'm missing linebreaks when pasting the code from the thread you posted, but not from others. Here's a few threads (one MSDN and one TechNet) that work properly for me:

Oh, yes, you're right. It's not with all threads. I should have verified this before, but the code sample looked like others, so I thought all are affected. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

There have been no recent forum changes that would account for this.

The COM Sandbox is stripping HTML I paste from Answers. That is a workaround that I advertised on Answers for having a lack of an HTML editor. It can still be worked around but I guess I should not divulge how?
