No visible characters copied in firefox

[Hans M]

Hey,

I´m using Firefox version 108.0.1. I assume that if you copy text out of confluence using firefox, you might copy some invisible characters as well.

What happened:

I copied some text out of confluence, pasted the text in my IDE and ran it with an error as a result. After searching for the mistake without success, i typed the code by hand and it was running without error.

I copied the text-code with the edge-browser out of confluence and it was working fine.

Is this issue only with my Firefox version? Or should i use edge instead?

Best regards

Hi @Hans M and welcome to the community,

What kind of text did you copy? Was it on a code snippet? Did you copy the same exact text from Edge? I didn't experience any problem with Firefox. If you can explain a bit more, maybe we will be able to reproduce the problem and guide you through it.

Hello Alex,

thanks for your answer. I did a deeper look to this problem.

I copied the code out of a codeblock. With the result as explained.

I copied the code out of a codeblock from the confluence edit mode and it was working fine.

I pasted both "versions" into an editor and switched the view to hexadecimal. With the result that somehow a hexadecimal-character "A0" appears.

I woudnt look deeper into it.

But it might be helpful for other persons facing the same problem.

Ok, but for sure there are plenty bugs for the code macro:
