Copy / Paste issue with special characters

[liambres 0]

Hi All,

 

Every time I copy from Evernote to another app (like outlook on the Mac) I get issues with special characters. Below is an example

Evernote - this “happens"

Outlook - this “happens"

 

Anyone have a clue on why this is?

 

Cheers,

 

Liam

My suspicion is you have hidden characters in your Evernote note.  I'd export the note and look at the underlying html code

What font are you using.  This looks ok on my Mac using Helvetica font

I've tested this in a number of fonts, including Helvetica. This appears to be a pure Mac issue as making a similar note on the iOS app works as expected. Even when copied to within the Mac. 

On export as an enex I get this - 

<en-note><div>“Test&quot;</div><div><br/></div><div>“Test”</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div></en-note>

This is using Version 6.12 Beta 3 (455392 Direct)

Any ideas?

I was expecting to see   this “happens"

Where are you copying from?

This is a copy from Evernote on the Mac, to Outlook on the Mac. 

 

The text itself was created in Evernote and then copied out

I'm having the same issue after the latest update (6.12.1). In my case the bug is triggered by the copied text containing nordic characters (e.g. "ä" or "å"). Reinstalling Evernote did not solve the issue.

I have the same issue. Showed up after my latest update in Sept17.

Same here. Spanish characters like 'á' appear as 'á'.

Version 6.12.1 for Mac.

I have this issue to, and as I am Norwegian and do use a lot of nordic characters this is very annoying. Hope there will be a fix soon.

Have a nice day all!

copying a greater than symbol puts &gt; onto the clipboard on MacOS, instead of just >

I have this issue too on Mac.
I can not yet reproduce when it does/does not happen.

hex(and( not(BYTES + and(ADDR; 0x00FF) + (ADDR >>8) + and(DBIN0; 0x00FF) + (DBIN0 >>8) + and(DBIN1; 0x00FF) + (DBIN1 >>8) + and(DBIN2; 0x00FF) + (DBIN2 >>8) + and(DBIN3; 0x00FF) + (DBIN3 >>8) )+1; 0xFF ))

 

hex(and( not( and(0x0000; 0x00FF) + (0x0000 >>8) + and(0x1A40; 0x00FF) + (0x1A40 >>8) + and(0x0040; 0x00FF) + (0x0040 >>8) + and(0x0000; 0x00FF) + (0x0000 >>8) )+1 ; 0xFF ))

 

(this is copied as normal text (note the many >> characters)

But when I copy only one of the 2 rows (happens with both) the >> are converted to &gt;

 

I cannot find anything that breaks the correct formatting.

Not sure if this is helpful for Mac users, but I found this issue and played with the options settings to fix it. Hope this is helpful.

[When using "Find & Replace", characters where getting substituted]

On Windows 10, using Control + H, I'd paste $(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S") into the search field and it would substitute a double quote character " with &quot ;

 

My fix was to go into options (Tools --> Options --> Note) and Uncheck "Automatically format text elements"

All special characters not work specially they are unicode symbols. It depend on platform as well.

When I create a new note and type in

Then close Evernote, and open it again.

 

Pasting the contents of that into in a program which allows displaying of hidden characters ( such as https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~markm/ascii.html ) displays this
