Public bug reported:
To replicate
=========
1) Create a multiline verbatim code block with
'''
code hre
''''
2) Reload page to format correctly.
3) Select the "e" in code, and copy to clipboard.
4) Move cursor between "h" and "r" and paste.
Expected results
==============
Source should look like this:
'''
code here
''''
Observed results
==============
Source looks like this:
'''
code h
'''
''ere''
If you reload the page, you can see this results in a newline before the
pasted "e", and the following code is also changed to "in-line"
verbatim.
This is particularly problematic if you forget this bug exists, and
forget to reload. If you attempt to copy edited code and paste into a
terminal, you can potentially execute the wrong code, as the invisible
newline is inserted in the clipboard.
For example… (DON'T DO THIS)
'''
sudo rm -rf /local/bin/usr/myscripts
'''
Oh, I got the path wrong! I'll just copy "usr/" and paste it before
"local". Then, I'll copy the whole command and paste it into a terminal!
Obviously, here, `sudo rm -rf /` will be executed immediately, as the
newline is parsed.
