Help android stock browser copy and paste issues...

[mavewreck]

Hey guys,
I've been Googling this issue for days and couldn't find anything close to it!
ever since I updated my DHD whenever I copy some text from the stock browser and paste it somewhere else, the words are all attached and there r no spaces between them! and on contrary some other times there r too many spaces...

E.g 1: NoSpaceBetweenWords
E.g 2: To o M any S pac es

the text encoding in the browser was set to UTF-8, I changed it to Latin and that seemed to fix the issue for a while, but now its back again!

anyone ever experienced anything like this b4? any ideas why its happening?

thank u.

That's an incompatibility between code interpreters. When you copy a sentence with spaces, sometimes "c2 a0" (non-breaking space) is issued to the pasted entity instead of a true space, so you'll see characters sometimes run together.

If you know how to manipulate style sheets, you can modify your browser to the same code as what ever you're pasting to.

Otherwise, the way to go is experiment with browsers and find the one that uses the same code, or do as you were doing and change the settings until you hit on the one that matches for you.

I've found Opera to be best at that, but I can't stand that browser for other reasons, so I don't do much copy/paste stuff on my phone anymore.
