Yes this! I find the same issue with the latest version of Evernote for Mac {Version 7.14 (458265 App Store) Editor: 69.3.10951 (15add1e)} and Visual Studio Code (Version: 1.47.3). When writing in YAML, spaces indicate syntax and without the spaces preserved, it's either time consuming and error prone to add them in afterwards, or makes pasted text unusable without spaces (thank you Jody Fanning for the workaround of pasting it into another app first!). Preserving spaces/indetation is important for writing YAML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) files and is used by QA Engineers to edit CircleCI or Github .yml files. Ex.: on: pull_request: paths-ignore: - 'README.md' results in: on: pull_request: paths-ignore: - 'README.md' The resulting yaml will fail when ran. It's weird and a little ironic that this support website with an arguably more basic text editor allows adding codeblocks that preserve pasting indentation/whitespace/spaces.

The same issue of indentation/space character removal applies when just pasting regular text into a code block. Spaces indicate syntax and without the spaces preserved, it's either time consuming and error prone to add them in afterwards, or makes pasted text unusable in that form.
