Copying text content with CTRL+C to WYSIWIG inserts figmeta

I’m also experiencing this. 😔

Try to paste not with Ctrl+V, but with Ctrl+Shift+V.

Wow, so easy solution, sorry for dummy question and thanks for answer!

Pasting without format isn’t a solution; it’s a work around. Better than nothing, but how to disable this nonsense?

You can easily destroy servers with that. I copied a few lines of text and Figma added nearly 400k characters to it. Totally crashed the server without a way to notice.

Would love to see a setting to disable this functionality.

This issue was brought up a while back: https://spectrum.chat/figma/general/exclude-figma-code-when-copy-and-pasting-text-into-wysiwyg-editor~a2a02823-22f6-41c0-8522-61c84404ba6e (can’t post links I guess?)

I’m about to review all the fields on my site to remove the extra content that was added, just glad that I caught it. I’d imagine that this issue has caused several other developers to unintentionally paste a whole heap of text into fields on their websites.

This is driving me crazy.

I know I can use cmd+shif+v, but sometimes I forget and then I have to redo the whole thing. So much wasted time.

I wish I can disable the function, when I want to copy the text from figma or why its not disabled automatically from DEV tab?

Still hapenning in 2023…

Still happening in 2024. This is a horrible waste of time and page size. Why isn’t this fixed?
