| Jan 24, 2020 at 14:34 | comment | added | Ryan | This problem has been SUPER annoying to me too! And I don't know when it started happening for me, but my sense is that for me it has only been happening for months rather than 2 years. It's really disheartening to learn that 2 years have passed already without this bug being fixed. | |
| Oct 26, 2019 at 9:24 | comment | added | RedGlyph | Reproducible on Chrome 77.0.3865.120 (Win7x64), this has been there as long as I remember. Unfortunately, no way to report bugs to Google, only feedback and we don't know whether they read it or not (most probably not). Or "communities" but they are not present, it's just a place to find work-arounds or vent. | |
| Aug 19, 2018 at 11:49 | comment | added | Mickael Bergeron Néron | @OliverPons I meant, fixed in the sense that trying Jim Luschen's solution worked, although I have to give up html. I agree that this is a TERRIBLE 'feature' to automatically add spaces on paste like that. | |
| Aug 19, 2018 at 7:49 | comment | added | Olivier Pons | @MickaelBergeronNéron It's not fixed. Write a word. Press enter. Write another word, select it, change the font. Now select the first word, and copy/paste it into a new, empty line. You'll see another unwanted space. It's 50% fixed. Maybe the same unskilled person hired by google, who created that mess, did the fix... | |

I'm able to reproduce this problem in both Gmail and Google Calendar, in both Chrome and Firefox private windows, using all combinations of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Insert, Ctrl+X, Shift+Delete, Ctrl+V, and Shift+Insert. The only requirement is the text be pasted into one of Google's HTML-enabled text elements. If I paste into a Gmail draft with "Plain text mode" enabled, for example, no spaces are added. Nor are spaces added if I paste as plain text (Ctrl+Shift+V).

| Jan 21, 2018 at 21:28 | comment | added | freginold | Same in Firefox -- no added spaces. | |
| Jan 21, 2018 at 21:25 | comment | added | freginold | @OlivierPons What browser/system are you using? I just tried it in Gmail in Chrome on a Win7 PC, and it didn't add any spaces. | |
| Jan 21, 2018 at 18:12 | comment | added | Olivier Pons |
@freginold I'm saying it does not happen (when you copy, insert spaces before and/or after WTF) on all other programs. @Kos Did you try CTRL-X -> CTRL-V or SHIFT-DEL -> SHIFT-INS?

| Jan 20, 2018 at 17:49 | comment | added | user159892 | Couldn't reproduce it in Chrome (Win), pasted "as-is", without any spaces added | |

@LPChip Ok this is 2s, you'll say? Multiply this by 10 = 20, per 8 hours a day = 2 minutes, per 200 = 400 minutes = 50 hours. I'm loosing 6 days of my life/year because of a brainless guy. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one (same problem for forbidden openings of zip files and 7z files in gmail, who is this f**kin guy responsible of this? But this is another story)

| Jan 20, 2018 at 14:16 | comment | added | Olivier Pons | @LPChip It's not a question to ask because all programs: Notepad++, Notepad, PyCharm, PhpStorm, Word, Visual Studio, and the list could go on and on, do behave like this. This is almost a de-facto standard. Moreover gmail has always had this "de-facto standard" for years. That's why I hate the guy responsible for this because I'm loosing a lot of time copy then paste into notepad and re-cut again to be able to paste. | |
| Jan 20, 2018 at 14:11 | comment | added | LPChip | Also, does it also happen if you use CTRL-X to cut and CTRL-V to paste? That's a different way to copy/paste, and is often also interpret differently in different systems. For example, if you paste in Powershell using CTRL-V, it also executes that row. But if you Shift-insert, it does paste, but not execute. | |

At the guy who asked to close it because "This question does not appear to be about computer software or computer hardware within the scope defined in the help center.". Please tell me why it's not about computer software? Aren't we in the superuser world? What am I missing?
