Formatting not kept with copying and pasting

DexterEugenio

Diarium version: 2.9.39.0
OS + version: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22000

When I copy text that is formatted (bold, underline, italics, etc) the formatting is lost during paste.

This happens between entires and also within the same entry itself.

Thank you.

This is because of how insanely difficult it is on Windows to correctly handle formatted text from the clipboard. I previously just fell back to the default Windows pasting behavior, but that also allowed the pasting of pictures, tables and whatnot - all this formatting that the Diarium database cannot handle. There have been multiple issues for this already, e.g. here or here. I spent hours over hours, trying to get the best behavior but I now settled on this for now.
In my tests it is still possible to paste formatted text from e.g. Microsoft Word or the browser, but copy-pasting formatted text within the app unfortunately not..

Spent another 2 hours on this and I think I now also figured out how to copy formatted text from Diarium

Hey Timo, I am experiencing the same issue since the last update to 2.9.41.1
Previously I could copy from Diarium to my online community without any issues on formatting but since the update it just gives me a wall of text.

Can you please give a better, more detailed example?
E.g. what do you mean with "wall of text"?
