Copy and Pasting Checkboxes issue with 6.1

[RAPH 4]

I make a number of schedules and to-do lists with Evernote, and as you can imagine I use the check box feature to check off items when I'm finished.

 

I often have to copy and paste a number of items from one note to another that are empty checkboxes, but since the update, every time I copy and paste checkboxes it now leaves square brackets within the note instead of pasting the blank checkbox.

 

I now have to either delete each square bracket individually or temporarily disable the checkboxes altogether to get rid of the square brackets. It's quite a nuisance and very inconvenient.

 

Here is an example of what happens now since Evernote updated to 6.1:

 

Septembers Bills:

[x] Rent due on 1st

[x] Comcast bill due on 9th

[x] DTE bill due on 9th

[ ] Ting bill due on 16th

[ ] Car insurance bill due on the 20th

 

(Again, in the past after copy and pasting checkboxes it simply pasted the checkbox rather than these square brackets.)

 

I hope there is a fix soon!

Howdy,

 

Thanks for reporting this -- are you using "Paste and Match Style"? If so, do you get the same behavior with normal paste?

I'm not familiar with how to enable "Paste and Match Style" on my Mac or on Evernote, but you mentioning that promoted me to investigate an app that I run called "FormatMatch".

 

I decided to disable the "FormatMatch" application and now I'm able to copy and paste checkboxes in Evernote as I normally would in the past, so I guess this was just a problem on my end and not Evernotes.

 

I never had any problems with this app in the past, but I suppose I'm relieved to know it was a minor problem on my end rather than on Evernotes end.

 

Thanks for your help!
