My apologies if this is already known - couldn't find it by searching
the list.

MLO 3.6.1 Professional on Windows 7, 32-bit

Description: If you select multiple, nested tasks in the outline so
that both a parent and a child task are selected, copy them and paste
in another application, the child task will be listed twice (or more).

Procedure:

1. Open any MLO file which contains tasks and sub-tasks.
2. Using keyboard or mouse select one task and its subtask (immediate
child). Two items should be visibly selected.
3. Press Ctrl+C.
4. Open Notepad and press Ctrl+V.

Result:

Even though two tasks were selected, the pasted result contains three
lines: the subtask is listed twice. (Once indented, once not).

Expected result:

The pasted outline should be an exact copy of the original. No tasks
should be listed more than once in the pasted data.

Example: if you have two items like this:

Parent task
-- Child task

and you do the above procedure, the pasted result is:

Parent task
-- Child task
Child task

- which is obviously wrong. If more than one subtask is included in
the selection, they all get repeated in this way. Subtasks that are
more deeply nested will be repeated more times.

It appears that when I press Ctrl+C, MLO starts at the first selected
item and gathers the text of the task and all its children, then
proceeds to the next selected item (a subtask) and repeats the
procedure, even though the subtask has already been processed.

This behavior is quite unexpected, I hope it can be fixed soon! :)

Thanks!
