Question

Numerous line breaks when pasting text from wherever it is

image

Hey! Ive never had this problem before, but since today it has started to add numerous amount of line breaks when i copy/paste text from different sources.
Ive also noticed that it adds only 2 line breaks when copying from powerpoint or pdf docs.

It is getting impossible to work since i have to do a lot of copy/paste activity. Please, help!

    HACK THAT WORKS! – “Remove Formatting” (Command + \ in Mac) tool in Gmail. I still have the problem of the line breaking in the middle of words when I paste text from different sources (Copilot) into Figma. I tried making it plain text in Text Edit first, but that didn’t even work. What DOES work is pasting it into Gmail and using the tool “Remove Formatting” (Command \ on Mac). Then, when I paste it into Figma, there is no issue.
