Hello everybody. I’ve just pasted on textfield and this happens. Why? How can I fix it?

It puts “&#32”; instead of whitespace. Some characters are being changed too

It’s pasting HTML entities so that what you paste actually appears instead of being interpreted.

Use “Paste as Plain Text (Ctrl+Shift+V)” to paste and _not_ do this.

Any way to set this as default paste operation?

If you’re on Windows you could use [PureText](http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/).

That is odd, what is it being copied from? What software?

Yep, copying from idea always leads to this.

What i generally do is right click my text (in idea) and select “Copy as Plain Text” instead of normal Copy (Ctrl+c). (of course it happens quite a lot that i forget about this, so i have to delete everything and recopy… oh well)

It is _very_ unorthodox for a coding tool to default copy code as formatted text. That’s a bad default.
