Evernote please. Just implement this. It was in previous versions. There is already an "Unlink" option when you right click anywhere on an external link, so your app already knows it's a link!!! I used this 10+ times a day in the legacy versions. It's just so simple. It's an option in Chrome, Safari, Slack, and who knows how many other apps. Please just add it

In previous versions of the Evernote client, I could right click on a link and choose "Copy Link Address" to immediately copy the URL that the link pointed to (not sure if that was the exact text). In this version it's gone. Just... why??? Maybe folks don't use it every single day like I do, but why remove it??? There are at least a dozen ways that this recent release has made it harder for me to use Evernote, but this one really makes my forehead long for my palm (along with the removal of global shortcuts, which I know are coming back some fine day)

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?
 

@macneilpi I wrote down detailed steps to reproduce here: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/110066-strange-copy-paste-issue/?do=findComment&comment=489369. The text is copied to the clipboard with the HTML-encoded characters. It doesn't matter where you paste it.

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:

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.

All the best,

Anderson

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:

1. Write down the text snippet "copy & paste" with default formatting. Result: copy/paste yields the correct text.
2. Change the font of that snippet to anything. Result: copy/paste yields "copy & paste".
3. Change the font of that snippet back to the default manually (i.e.: not by using 'simplify formatting'). Result: copy/paste yields "copy & paste".
4. Highlight the snippet and use 'simplify formatting'. Result: copy/paste yields the correct text again.
