BrettoWago 0 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Been using Evernote for a few years. Have never had a single issue. Out of nowhere yesterday, I'm no longer able to copy and paste text without it adding a strange syntax (&npsp;). Here's an example: ORIGINAL COPIED TEXT Up to product team, come up with content to support them, making sure content gets created, briefing creative to creative services team so that it looks good in email and suits product, writing product, come a long way over the past few years PASTED TEXT Up to product team, come up with content to support them, making sure content gets created, briefing creative to creative services team so that it looks good in email and suits product, writing product, come a long way over the past few years= Any ideas how to fix this? Using Macbook Air, updated to the latest version of the free Evernote. Thanks everyone!! Link to comment
evernote@addax.cc 0 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi, Same issue here Original text copied from evernote: cut -d\: -f 1; Pasted text: cut -d\: -f 1; Why Evernote is adding ?? it changes ">" to > It is very annoying Cheers Link to comment
roe_gal 0 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I have this problem too, and it's making Evernote quite unusable in my current workflow. Link to comment
BrettoWago 0 Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Discovered two things on this... is the html code for a space. Second is a partial solution. If you click into a note where you're having the issue, select Format from the menu above and then select "simplify formatting". This will get rid of the problem in that note. But it will also remove most formatting (e.g. if you have anything highlighted). And you still have to simplify formatting for each individual note. Note ideal but does solve the problem till Evernote creates a better fix. Link to comment
Karl Eilebrecht 0 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 This is really a blocker for me. Most of my notes are formatted (i.e. fixed font, highlighting), I need the formatting and I frequently need to copy content out of evernote. This bug makes the tool unusable. Link to comment
aprilhenrymysteries 0 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I am having trouble with this in Evernote itself. If I move text around it adds all kinds of substations for spaces and periods. Link to comment
sarahb 3 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Having this problem too, annoying Link to comment
KevinR 0 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Add me to the list. I'm actually cutting and pasting within the same note in Evernote on my Mac and when I paste I get the " " code instead of a space. Sheesh. Link to comment
aprilhenrymysteries 0 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I was having that problem too - cutting and pasting within the same note in Evernote on my Mac and getting " " - but it has stopped. One of the things I had tried was clicking on "Simplify formatting." I had been reluctant to do that because I didn't want to lose bold. But if memory serves, I kept my bolds and the issue stopped.

GSide 2 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm also experiencing something like this on the latest Mac desktop version (6.13.3 455969 Direct). When I copy something with ampersands in my Evernote doc, it pastes each ampersand as "&". I've found something that might be very useful for tracking this bug down (and/or for a quick workaround while this is being addressed). This bug only happens when I change the font of the text snippet from the default. Example workflow: Write down the text snippet "copy & paste" with default formatting. Result: copy/paste yields the correct text. Change the font of that snippet to anything. Result: copy/paste yields "copy & paste". Change the font of that snippet back to the default manually (i.e.: not by using 'simplify formatting'). Result: copy/paste yields "copy & paste". Highlight the snippet and use 'simplify formatting'. Result: copy/paste yields the correct text again. Link to comment

mmorris314 6 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Add me in. Evernote: is ANYONE bothering to do something about this? Although it's new to me, I see this strong runs to A YEAR. Link to comment
GSide 2 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 To all others on this thread: I submitted a support ticket (#2340825, if it matters) and got a response. They know about the issue and they're working on it. Would've been nice for one of them to respond here directly, but oh well. Here's the text: Quote Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to Evernote. My name is Anderson and I'll be assisting you. I understand when pasting text into Evernote that contains reserved HTML, some encoded characters appear. I can assure you that we are aware of this issue and we are working on a solution, we're hopeful to have an update with a fix released soon. Also, I'll be sure to let our Forum team know about the thread and to reply to it––thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

DrUSA17 0 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Same! :-( I love Evernote, but this is a deal-breaker for me, if not resolved soon. I use Evernote as a primary text editor, and can't be wasting time cleaning up unwanted tags every time I move a sentence or paragraph around... Please make fixing this a priority! :-) Link to comment

macneilpi 34 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I am unable to duplicate this issue on my MacBook using EN for MacOS. Could you be more specific on where the original text came from, did you paste it into a note, or did you type it? And are you pasting it into a new note, or are you using another application?

aprilhenrymysteries 0 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 When it has happened to me, it has been copying next in Evernote and pasting it in Evernote. I don't remember if it's within the same note. It's sporadic. Link to comment

Feliope Largo 0 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's VERY annoying and very inconsistent. But it's nothing to do with cross-platform as I get in Evernote to Evernote. For example, I've just typed this line...[Pls don't judge me on content!], Copied it.. "Opiniator - wants to tell everyone what and why their opinion is uniquely brilliant, insightful, correct. They believe this demonstrates their genius and moral superiority as a person." [Quotes added.] Pasted it... a few lines above in area with an identical page font etc and Hey Presto... its march of the "Opiniator - wants to tell everyone what and why their opinion is uniquely brilliant & correct. They believe this demonstrates their genius and moral superiority as a person." If I then copy paste it transforms to   copy paste that to :  etc etc A brief investigation I've concluded that its the COPY into the buffer that inserts the fallacious content. Once a copy source has been 'infected' it'll paste into everything with snuggling randomly into the spaces between words. Happening about 1/5 which seems an increase? This is one many irritating bugs and usability deficiencies that have persisted in the 2 years I’ve been a paying customer - which Evernote appears unmotivated to resolve. I wonder if a representative from Evernote will respond? Plenty of Alternatives. Just a migration hassle... Link to comment

t_varion 2 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have this issue also. I hope Evernote fixes this problem in an update. I have many thousands of notes. Fixing the TOC manually would take an extremely long time, and new notes would still have the problem. Link to comment

Marckspal 1 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Its December 13th, and I'm still having this   error, especially when I load previously created templates, which, incidentally do not have this error. Is there a fix anyone knows about? I tried the "simplify formatting," it erased all the formatting I had on my template, and the bug persisted. 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,780 Posted February 14, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted February 14, 2020 This thread was quiet now for 13 months. Which means a) it was fixed, meanwhile, just nobody told it was b) it was not fixed, but is is not important, so it does not need a fix c) everybody complaining was completely exhausted by the phenomenal ability of EN not to listen to it‘s users, made famous by some inexhaustible participants in this forum, who always cry „mimimi , they ignore us, mimimi “, and so on Pick your choice, please !
