Title
'Copy text in Rich Text format' option affects block select copy & paste in v12.8 -
Description
In 12.8 if you tick the "Copy text in rich text format" option, when you do a Block selection in the Editor - and copy some data, when it is pasted, it does not paste correctly, and the data goes onto other lines. When it is unticked, pasting data works normally.
In 12.7 it works the correct way if the option is ticked or unticked. -
Cause
Copy in RTF must be handled by Toad to generate the RTF clipboard content. Block copy must be handled by Scintilla DLL to handle the custom block selection. We can't have both without some not-so-small amount of effort. -
Resolution
RESOLUTION
Untick the "Copy text in rich text format" option.
From version 12.9 option "Copy text in rich text format" is no longer enabled by default so this issue should be less prevalent going forward.
