Line Ending Issue

Workstation is Win 10 64-bit Pro

When I copy-paste some text in Online Notepad to a different input field, every line gets padded with additional line ending symbols or space character. In example:
Original text:
"hello[\n]
world"
Pasted text:
"hello[space character][\n]
[space character]
world[space character][\n]
[space character]"
This happens when I copy-paste from 1 notepad page to another notepad page, notepad text to a website input field, notepad text to ms word, notepad text to windows notepad program

It is extremely irritating and inefficient for me to use the software! Would you mind fixing this bug asap? If not, will just use a different online notepad after a month of no update. Thanks.

Hey Ron, I know its late, but this happens because when you press enter, you are not entering [\n] but creating a new tag. I have two solutions:-

1) If you don't want to use bold italic underline images or tables, there will be a "Formatting panel" option just below the title next to "delete page". If you click it, you're gonna get a menu with this symbol - ⊘. Click it and it will show a dialogue box saying something. Just read it and click "Disable formatting" if you're fine.

2) Instead of pressing enter key, use shift+enter. This will add a line break instead of a paragraph break.

I'm a user who had the same issue
