Pasting text or a link in a reply - grits - 10-22-2022

Whenever I attach a link using the attachments section or paste some text from a .txt file, or just type here and hit preview, I get an extra wall of text that starts with translations and many different languages plus a lot of other text. Why is this happening and how to overcome it?

Possibly added by your browser (or whatever application from which you copied). There is no such code in the Gimp-Forum server code. When you select something on a web page, you can unknowingly include a whole "division". Paste the text in a text editor before pasting it here to see what you really copied to your keyboard.

Also, the mere presence of a Bing reference hints that this is likely some Microsoftism.

I just typed a response that said I later noticed it happens when just typing. And just now I previewed it and it was there. So I backed out, then back in, and will see what happens if I don't preview it. I am using windows 11, 64-bit.

I concur with Ofnuts, All the things you've copy/pasted have nothing to do with the forum, it's all about your clipboard on Windows and your browser

Is your browser the Microsoft's "Edge"...?
If so and as Ofnuts said (presence of a Bing reference hints that this is likely some Microsoftism), I would recommend to try a more neutral browser like Firefox ➤ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Note: don't get fooled by Microsoft Bing/Edge if you're searching for another browser by yourself using Edge, with its "There is no need to download a new browser" written in big in the search result https://www.ubergizmo.com/2021/12/microsoft-edge-discourage-google-chrome/

Again, all come from how you've selected (too much) and how Windows/Edge handle your clipboard, or why not your setting in Edge... (the later one is too optimistic IMO)

RE: Pasting text or a link in a reply - grits - 10-23-2022

I was using Brave with the search engine Bing, since they pay me. I changed the search engine to Brave, and it didn't make a difference.
The only other thing is that I have Grammerly installed as a Chrome and Brave app.

I am now trying Chrome, with search engine set to Chrome. We will see...

Edit: Okay, that worked.

Now to see if the edit works.

Edit 2: I went to the post I have been trying to reply to in the same browser & search engine, and posted a reply with an attached .txt file (a script) and had the same issue. I'd really like to post the script, but see no way around this error unless I can forward it to someone that has answered me here and then they can post it. It is the postcard script from 2010 by Howard Roberts.

Some sort of translation option kicking in ? I can maybe understand select/copy/paste from a web browser with Windows Cloud data slurping. Have you tried Ctrl - Shift - V as the alternative paste-without-formatting ? or a utility such as https://stevemiller.net/puretext/

Quote:....or paste some text from a .txt file...

How are you making the txt file ? Can you zip and attach it ? It might give a clue.

Back to Gimp matters.

That one beat me, not able to find it Wink

Can you post a link to it. What is wrong with it ?
