[Defect] Pasting into Code Blocks Removes CRLF Formatting

[jh1989 41]

I've discovered that if you copy and paste blank lines into a code block, then click away from the note to a different note and then go back to the note, the blank lines will get removed.

Consider the attached screenshot. The top code block I copied from SQL Server Management Studio and pasted into the code block (I also tested copying from notepad to see if this made any difference and it didn't). In the bottom code block, I pasted the same text except I manually removed the blank line and added it back in. I then clicked away from the note to a different note, went back to this note and the top code block where I copy/pasted with the blank line had its blank line removed.

I am on version 10.4.4 Build 2096

I've always found blank lines of code are treated a bit randomly by both the legacy version and V10, with the former tending to add lines and the latter remove them. That's for me mainly pasting R code from R Studio.

Have you tried ctrl-shift-V (paste and match style)?  I've no idea if it would help in your case but worth a try.

Here's a thing...

If I paste the code into the note, highlight and select code block then the LFs stick.

If I take an existing code block and paste into that the LFs get removed when the note is viewed in the manner described...

@Mike P's suggestion to use Ctrl+Shift+V did not, sadly, make a difference.

You're right that does work, I'll try to remember to use this method of inserting code until this (hopefully) is addressed one day.
