Cut and Paste causes Errors

In Google Chrome, there are TWO SERIOUS forum bugs:


1>  START or REPLY to a thread.

Before POSTing, highlight all your text and Ctrl - C (Copy it to clipboard).

Now, CANCEL your post.

Start your thread or reply again.

Instead of typing everything, CTRL -V  (or PASTE) the clipboard into the body.

Now your text appears, POST the message. 

You’ll get the error “Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied.”

I am going to add to this thread to see if I can reproduce in IE.


Bug 2>  Open a CMD window and issue any “Dos” command, like “dir.”

PASTE the output into a forum body.

The result is garbled because all the line-breaks are gone.

HOWEVER, if you POST now, you’ll get the same error as #1, but the resulting text is now DUPLICATED.  Once with the line-breaks restored, and then again with the original garbage.

These two bugs make Cutting and Pasting into the forum tedious.  

Testing now with Internet Explorer.

These issues do NOT appear to occur with IE version 8.

I will notify Lithium of this.

They were able to replicate the bug and are working on fixing it.

Awesome! 

Thanks
