Fixed Editor doesn't copy colors

[refael]

When copying a text (within the editor) with color, the color doesn't copied.

I believe this may be as designed as some formatting is deliberately removed such as colours and font sizes.

I'll leave it to Mike to confirm though.

Indeed.

The fact that colours were copied was also an often reported bug.

Think of the scenario where a site has a light style and a dark style and text copy pasted by a user of the light style maybe invisible to users of the dark style and vice versa.

Not to mention any text copied from any other site that may not work with the currently enabled style.

Then again...it could be a bug: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/a-new-editor-and-much-much-more.50519/

When pasting, most formatting is removed (though some is kept). However, if you're pasting from one XenForo editor to another (or within the same one), all formatting is maintained.

@rellect What did you use to make that gif?

I ask because it maybe useful for others reporting bugs in the future.

There are a lot of those apps.

I've been using LICEcap. http://www.cockos.com/licecap/

It's my personal favourite as it works on Windows and Mac OS X.

It does work if you have more than one line selected. Looks like that's because the code that detected the paste was from redactor required a <div> tag to have the extra attribute. I've now applied that in a few other cases to try to catch this situation.

Have you applied the fix here? I can still reproduce it.
There's something related that I want to report, but need to make sure if it's not resolved by this fix.

I've just rolled out the fix for this now.

Works fine for me.

Tested using @Adam Howard's test post. Didn't work for me using Chrome on Android (Nexus 7).

As noted, colors (and various other things) are only maintained if you copy from within the editor. If you are copying from anywhere else, heavy filtering will be applied to the pasted text.

Was copying from within the editor using

Google Chrome Version 35.0.1916.114
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Never mind, it's working now.... @Martok try clearing your temp files, cache, and cookies
