Something is happening with the Rich text editor when you paste, then. I'm sure it's not your fault, but it is happening -- and you can verify it if you click on the BBCode Editor button -- and maybe there's a way to work around it?
What I do to ensure no weird formatting happens is:
- New Post
- Switch to BBCode editor
- Paste text
- Switch to Rich editor
- Format & color the text
That also ensures no weird newline stuff gets added or ignored, which the Rich editor can do.
I do that for some sites, but the thing is, every other post is comfortable. So I'd basically be zooming only for
@chibipoe story posts. Not the worst thing in the world, but if there's an easy work-around, it might save other people trouble too.
