OT: Copy & Paste issue with UE Studio / FWH Forum

[TimStone]

Often there is code posted on this forum that I want to test. If I do a Select All, then copy it to the clipboard, and I then paste it into an existing .prg in UE Studio, it appears there is no problem.

However, when I attempt to build the app, every pasted line has an error when building with Visual Studio. There is an embedded ASCII character 225 ( Hex E1 ) detected on every line that is pasted.

Sometimes I have had the code sent to me directly and it pastes in without a problem. If I retype the lines, I get the same result. However, when I copy and paste from a Code section on this forum, the problem occurs on every line.

When looking at the code in a HEX editor, it does not show up. I've talked to the UE people, and they don't understand it. I assume there is a setting in UE that is adding this as a hidden character ( which is discussed on their forums ), but so far I cannot find a solution.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this ? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Yes, I've experienced the same problem using Edge but not with IE. So it looks to be an Edge bug.

THANK YOU ...

I just tried it, and found it to work fine using Internet Explorer.

It will probably take a year to get a response from Microsoft on this.

You can bet on this...

A similar problem was posted in December, and has received no responses on the support forum.

IE is a workaround, but when I have had serious issues with non-support, I usually end up emailing Satya's office and get help quickly. The techs they hire are actually script readers who generally do not understand the question. You could send in a tech support question "What is the most flavorful apple in the world" and one of them would respond with "Microsoft Office works well on Apple products. Check out Office.com to purchase a copy."

That's like all the other call centers in the world...
