luckman212 134 Posted January 9 Also reported here but it wasn't fixed. Now 7.8 final is out and the bug remains. bug - part 1: when copying text from a code block, an unwanted newline (carriage return) is appended to the end. This one is dangerous for me since I keep a lot of terminal commands in EN as reference and frequently copy & paste them. The extra carriage return causes the commands to immediately execute if pasted into a terminal. If the command in question was e.g. `rm -rf /foo` that could be catastrophic. bug - part 2: when selecting a block of text and converting it to code block, 2 extra blank lines are added at the end. screenshots: before: after: bug - part 3: if the code block contains blank lines, they are omitted when copy/pasted:code block:after copy/paste into Sublime Text (e.g.) I opened support ticket #2750982 Share this post Link to post
Seattle32 0 Posted January 11 Fellow premium member here. Copy and paste functionality is critical for my workflow. I'm eager for this to be fixed in 7.8 Mac. Share this post Link to post

There will be a 7.9 beta 1, which will fix 1 bug but add 3 new ones. Those 3 bugs will be reported here. There won't be any more 7.9 betas though. 7.9 will be released, with maybe 1 or 2 of those bugs fixed, but also with 2 new bugs. Rinse. Repeat. Share this post Link to post

See Looking Ahead: Evernote's Priorities for 2019 Guess I missed the memo about the new CEO. Sounds like a glimmer of hope, but to be honest it's been so many years of decline I am not sure the boat can be turned around. For me it's "guilty until proven innocent" at this point. I do wish EN the best however, and hopefully we will start seeing a change in quality this year. Share this post Link to post

But, I'm willing to give the new CEO a chance, particularly since I have not found any PIM that is better. If I did, I would probably jump ship. Fortunately, Evernote 6.11.1 (455059) on macOS 10.12.6 is working fine for me, and I won't update until I don't see any material bugs that impact my workflow. Share this post Link to post
luckman212 134 Posted February 7 Anyone heard anything about a fix coming for the copy & paste nonsense? it's all crickets and tumbleweeds around here Share this post Link to post

JBuecker 0 Posted February 13 Add me to the list here..... this is kind of ridiculous, and I may be getting older a memory may fade from time to time, but I could Swear that we have had this bug in the PAST, then it was fixed.... now back? Share this post Link to post

I personally just tested it and can reproduce the issue on the current editor, but not in the updated one. We're working hard to have it ready as soon as possible, but to be frank newer updates to the current text editor will not contain these fixes for now. Share this post Link to post
David Nicolas 2 Posted February 25 Hi all, This is no new 'feature'. I remember well the same failure. When I copy from Evernote Mac 7.8 to Terminal: is terryfic! Please, can anyone push a HotFix? Thank you. Share this post Link to post
andcam 0 Posted February 25 this bug is driving me insane. it completely screws up my workflow. Share this post Link to post
luckman212 134 Posted February 25 Not that this is a solution but, if you install 7.9 beta 2 it PARTIALLY fixes this bug, but you still get the extra RETURN/newline added to everything copied from EN. To work around that portion, I created an Alfred workflow that I bind to "CMD+SHIFT+C" which automatically trims off the extra linefeed. Major kludge but until they can fix the editor component it's better than accidentally pasting rm -rf / into a Terminal.... Share this post Link to post
