Are you still experiencing this here? I can't reproduce it with the latest version of Firefox.

Hi Jeremy,
Yes I'm still seeing this issue all the time. I notice it when I copy text from my forum resource page xf2addons.com to a resource page here on XenForo.

I can reproduce this too but in Safari and Firefox. The line is gone after pasting.
But if I copy it in Safari and paste it to Firefox then the formatting is preserved.
If I paste this:
line 1
line 2
---------
... in Firefox I get this:
line 1
line 2
---------
Copying from Safari and pasting to Firefox, the formatting is preserved again.
Using macOS.

Yes likely a macOS/Firefox bug. Please note the bug thread title indicates in has to do with bbcode, but it does not. I can also just copy three lines which have a line feed and the line feed is lost upon pasting.
I attached an example.mp4 for you to see ny exact steps.

I cannot say whether it is a bug on the part of FF. I can only confirm that this is also the case under Windows with FF. Texts copied from Chrome, vivaldi and opera are correctly inserted into the editor.
If I copy the text into Notepad++, the formatting is correct.

A member of mine has shared a video of this same problem:

Copy-pasting from VS Code removes line breaks. Copy-pasting from Notepad++ does not. As you said.
Pasting code into a post deletes all blank lines
Hey @Ralle, I had a hard time publishing a code submission in the Lua sub-forum today, because pasting code into a post would remove all blank lines from it. Of course, the code was intentionally formatted this way, so I had to manually re-add blank lines after pasting, which was very tedious...

Does this happen on my site?

One of my add-on's heavily extends the copy & paste support.

A member of HIVE reported it a few weeks back and we are on the latest version already. I can try to get someone to help me reproduce it on this site.
The video in the post you linked above shows a XenForo copyright date of 2021 which means the video was made using a very old version.
It would be good to know if it's still reproducible now, and over here in the Test messages forum if they're willing to create an account.
This bug report is now closed though (while similar, it's a different issue) so if it is reproducible please create a separate, new bug report. It's difficult to track everything when people tack additional issues onto existing bug reports.

I have been in touch with the community member and here is his latest update (hint there is still a problem):

Basically, copy-pasting code reduces any number of consecutive line breaks into a single line break thus eliminating empty lines.
