Thanks for the suggestion, Jacqueline, but it didn’t change anything. Anyone else have a script-based solution to make sure LiveCode pastes only plain text? ASCII, Native, MacRoman - none of those text encodings work. Even putting only this line in my script results in the same thing: set the clipboarddata to ( "blah" & lf & "blah" & lf & "blah" & cr & "blah" & cr & "blah" & return & "blah" )
What’s different about text set in the clipboard in LiveCode from other text copied from other Mac apps?
