Copying produces extra return in each line

[Kaveh Bazargan]

I am copying some text from a Nisus document, and pasting it into a new document. Each return or carriage return creates a new one, i.e. \r becomes \r\r in all cases.

What's going on?

when you copy and past into find a similar problem occurs

one word gives you a word and a space

many words get the many words and a return....

irksome...

Is this not a major bug? Every return becomes two returns in the clipboard.

I don't experience this in either a document or the find window. So it may not actually be a bug, but something else going on.

Could it be the 6pt after-paragraph spacing that new documents have by default (I've turned this off in the Preferences in the New Document panel)? This looks very much like an extra space.

Otherwise, it may be that if you've changed your default new document or its settings, it might have gotten mixed up with line encodings or somesuch (carriage returns and line feeds, etc.). The Advanced tab in the New Document panel has a Restore Factory Settings, after which you can change your settings back.

Let us know if neither of those is the problem.

OK. It's to do with line break encoding. The files I was opening came from a Linux system. When I opened them in BBedit, it showed they had DOS line breaks. Seems Nisus needs to see Macintosh line breaks. When copying, each DOS line break is converted to two breaks.

I can't see a setting to fix this in Nisus, so I did it in BBedit and saved.

I think old Nisus had this, or at least Qued/M did.

Those were the days...

I have had trouble recreating this, so maybe I am remembering it from a previous beta... or could this be something that occurs when the program has been left on for a while.

I can say that I remove the 6 point after paragraph setting
