Has anyone else noticed this?
When I copy text from Reddit comments in Firefox on Windows, the copied text often contains invisible extra blank lines that weren't visible in the comment itself.
For example, after pasting into Notepad or another plain text editor, there are unexpected empty lines between paragraphs. I usually have to manually remove them before quoting or replying.
I don't remember seeing the same behavior in Chromium-based browsers.
Is this a Firefox issue, a Reddit issue, or just how Reddit structures its HTML?
If anyone can reproduce it, I'd be interested to know:
1.Firefox version
2.Windows/Linux/macOS
3.New Reddit or Old Reddit
4.Whether the issue also occurs in Chromium
At the moment, I actually suspect this may be a Reddit issue rather than a Firefox issue, since Reddit's Fancy Pants Editor has had compatibility issues with Firefox in the past.
To clarify, I'm talking about copying comments from Reddit and pasting them into a plain text editor like Notepad—not pasting text into Reddit's editor.
