pasted gb spots have extra line I cant get rid of

[hades8840]

Hi I have tried for weeks to work out why this is happening without luck when copying and pasting gb spots for multiple GB they come out as

hades8840 Himeji Castle P4(19)

hades8840 The Arc P3(836)

hades8840 Château Frontenac P4(57)

hades8840 Observatory P3(95)

in the game threads

pasted here they came out as

hades8840 Himeji Castle P4(19)
hades8840 The Arc P3(836)
hades8840 Château Frontenac P4(57)
hades8840 Observatory P3(95)
which is how it should be I am having to remove the extra line when posting in 1.9 threads which is a pain when I am doing it on 10 worlds numerous times a day

anyone know how to fix this i cant remember it ever being a issue before

As a thought: try pasting them into FOE using CTRL+SHIFT+V. While your second set of lines pasted in normally for me the keypress I'm recommending pastes pure text by removing formatting first. Yeah, it could all boil down to windows LF+CR versus just needing a newline character.

While I've never noticed a full set of lines (double-spacing) before; from time to time I use the in-game 'copy & paste' function and a random extra line generates in the middle of a lengthy listing...that once reposted can result in a hidden GB or characters. What I do in those cases is take the text in the editor to something like gedit or notepad and then bring it back to the game to 'fix' it.

If that doesn't work let me know what OS you are using, what the lines are coming from, where you paste them to (if anywhere) before copy/paste to FOE.

Hi thankyou for replying the ctrl shift v worked ..,. I don't understand what has been causing the issue I use foe helper to copy over multiple GB using the note function .. click it on each gb and it just adds that gb to a list that you can copy over.. but every time the extra line would appear even copying first into notepad or word etc would result in the lines again once it was copied from them over to the in game GB threads

In the end it has to do with Windows LF+CR verses the messaging system's desire for only a newline.
We can blame a windows update....but frankly it's an old as computing issue - however it's interesting that it just became an issue in your workflow. I'd avoid using word for the accumulation of GBs as it definitely adds extra formatting nonsense to it...but the solution will correct for that.
