How to Handle Long Blank Text Copy Paste Issues

Question

Hi everyone,Has anyone else encountered problems with long blank text copy paste? Sometimes copying large blocks of empty space from documents or webpages seems harmless, but pasting them into forums, chats, or editors can cause issues.It can take up unexpected space, slow down scrolling, or even crash certain apps. I’ve tried stripping formatting or using plain text tools, yet long blank text copy paste still creates headaches with very large blanks. Curious if others have a reliable method to handle it without manually deleting hundreds of empty lines.

A practical way to handle long blank text is to clean it in a lightweight editor first, then paste the cleaned version back into Figma comments, docs, or chat tools. Removing repeated empty lines and switching through a plain-text step usually prevents the huge whitespace blocks from slowing things down.

For a browser-based option, Wordpad Online is useful for quick note cleanup and simple rich-text editing without installing anything: https://wordpad-online.com/
