It's possible that other flex box layouts do strange things when copying/pasting to plain text. Basically, copying/pasting from flex boxes generates unexpected output. 1429847 3 rniwa 2018-06-04 10:08:55 -0700 We don't have any code to handle flex box for copy & paste so anything is possible. We probably need to do some work to support both flex box & grid layouts in our copy & paste logic somehow. 1430369 4 samuel 2018-06-05 22:24:53 -0700 I did work around the issue by using an `oncopy` event handler: https://github.com/ioquatix/jquery-syntax/blob/3cf6353facbc807c94b53cdf48c372547b7ac089/source/jquery.syntax.core.js#L45-L66 1525079 5 samuel 2019-04-07 05:46:31 -0700 I am just reporting that this is still an issue. You can see a live example here: https://www.codeotaku.com/journal/2018-06/improving-ruby-fibers/index Try copying only the code, it will invoke the copy handler which copies it as plain text. If you try to copy it including some of the preceding paragraph, it won't invoke the copy handler. If you paste the result into, say, TextEdit, you will get odd output. 1526621 6 rniwa 2019-04-11 21:24:35 -0700 Yes, this is an issue. We need to handle flexbox in our copy & paste code. We don't currently have the support for it.
