Copy paste raw android help

Yes I am

There is definitely a formatting issue.

Do me a favor and do this. Goto the link I provided you and don’t do a Select All, just highlight and copy the copyright information and then paste that into a New Device Handler, but don’t Create. Just want to see formatting. Tj n oaste that same code into the body of a new email message. It should be formatted with line returns like this:

Try that from your end and then if that still has the same results, copy this directly from the post and try it again:

It’s removing all line returns and just concatenating everything together.

Looking for Samsung KB regarding formatting for copy/cut/paste for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Not sure if there is a configurable option for this that may be missing.

I found this in one article which sounds like what is happening with the sentences (line returns). I don’t have the options to do anything more than Select All, Copy, Past and Share so without being able to see what your options look like when copying and pasting, I’m not sure. Do you have additional options with the triple dot : to the right of copy,share, select all functions?

This is a paragraph from the article I read (the cut to remove sentences is what stuck out to me):

Another option is to select all, cut to remove sentences, and use the cut, copy and paste hidden tools in many other ways. After some time, you’ll start being a power users of the cut, copy and paste feature as they become very useful

Also wondering if you having a theme setup on your phone is screwing something up. I noticed that all your text on the phone is in that funky font, including the urls. Just something to take a look at.

I would open a ticket with Samsung (phone) and tell them that the formatting of copy/paste is concatenating the text you are copying (regardless of the app you are pasting into) and if there is a known issue. I would try removing Theme from your phone and also disabling Autocorrect and rebooting your phone to see if it has any impact on copying and pasting.

What mobile browser are you using?

Thanks for all the help, I have a different Kb but not a theme, just a wallpaper I think hmm

Stock internet

Try Chrome and see what happens. What is the model of your phone?

Wow… @WB70, good thing I kept replying huh?

Surprised I never tried that long ago actually. Stupid Samsung internet lol

Yes @Ryan780, as you’ve seen that W666 guy is the absolute definition of a “keyboard bully”, he makes people feel small, bullies them, antagonize’s them, is disrespectful, pompous, aggressive (then always says the other person got out of bed the wrong side and laughs), thinks he knows more than anyone else on here, thinks he’s the arbiter of the whole forum, he’s a very poisonous individual and nobody has the self given right to behave like he does, I’m surprised the moderators have not taken any action, because each time I see him unnecessarily upset someone it’s really unsettling, if this forum was conducted across a round table I can guarantee you he would change his attitude pretty quickly.

Ya it was a good find Ryan. I would have thought that was indicative of the Like that I gave you on that reply yesterday. :slight_smile:

Now you wanna talk bullying, that guy that just replied to you is the definition of that.

I have helped many people out in this community and been sincere about it. I tried claryfying my reply within the reply yesterday that you misunderstood and took personally toward you that I was explaining it for you to understand when it was meant for the OP to have a better understanding of the overall process. You got defensive so I got defensive. It was misunderstanding and miscommunication and I apologize for my part in that.

@Alwas you do nothing for this community other than add commentary to something you oppose or to someone you don’t like and are the true definition of the bully. I apologized to you in the past if I rubbed you the wrong way, but your true nature shows with that post above. You do nothing out here in this community to assist or help out customers in any way other than your trolling posts to those you don’t like. You don’t have to like me at all, but I do spend time helping people out where I can.
