Title: Formatting Presets SNAFU
Post by: djMot on May 09, 2018, 12:38 PM
Okay, so here I am in Notepad++ and I'm going to try out a formatting preset.  So as you can see, I have the second line of text selected.

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I'm going to try the DashToTab preset, and as there is a dash in the selected text, I presume it will be converted to a tab.

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This is what I get.  Whaaaaaat?

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

So I hit Ctrl+z to undo since obviously this didn't work.  This is what I get:

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Okay, let's try Ctrl+z one more time...

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Wow.  Again...

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

OMG!  Again?

[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Yea!  Back to square one.  But, I mean, WTH?   :huh:

See my post in the other thread you started on the topic -- you've got to copy the clip first. It formats the last clip you copied and pastes that.

Not sure what's happening above as you have blurred the last copied clip.

I just re-tried by first copying the 2nd line, then proceeding as above.  EXACT same result.

I dont have Notepad++ installed here, and am unable to reproduce the problems you're having in Notepad or in browser.

Are you sure the clip was copied? -- did it show on the Quick-paste menu?
(In Options, (if not already) enable 'Play sound on capture' under 'Interface Options'.
That way you'll be sure the clip got copied without having to check.)

Yes, it did copy.

I tried it just now in Notepad++ again and it did exactly the same thing.

Tried in MS Word, and it worked as expected. 

Nevertheless, that still leaves a major issue with Notepad++

^ Naturally. Im not trying to minimise the significance of anything here. rather trying to confirm the problem.
