Dear all, this is one of my last items on the TODO list for the 2.4 release. Bunch of people expressed their opinion that our default for paste operation should preserve newlines. I do not have strong opinion but agree that in my experience I have to go to Paste Special sub menu quite often to preserve the newlines. Before looking what would need change, is there reasonable unanimous agreement that this should be the default or are there folks who prefer current behaviour which joins the lines by default?
