Before migrating I got used to click+dragging to copy multiple lines of text to or from other tabs or text editors. Now anything I drag to copy from outside the actual editing tab is screwed up format-wise.

When copying multiple lines of text to an outside editor like Notepad++, Fandom now inserts a line break between every. single. line. that then has to be deleted. When dragging text from one wiki page in edit mode to another, any individual instance of html or wikitext is automatically surrounded by nowiki tags.

I don't see why this "feature" was added, because drag-copying to duplicate already-formatted text worked perfectly before. It really made for a nice workflow that didn't needlessly clog up my clipboard manager, and minimized repetitive key presses for a large volume of pages (regarding text for things like game item descriptions, not layouts that can be converted to templates).

I checked my preferences/settings, but I can't find anything that might turn off the stupid automatic formatting and line breaks for dragged-in text. Am I missing something or is this just another user-friendly thing UCP has murdered that I'm going to have to work around?
