Pasting Italic text directly from the source post removes Italics in quick reply

[Night09]

I just noticed if you copy some italic text and post it in quick reply the italics is removed. I had to paste the original back in afterwards to keep the format.

EG: Hello testing  becomes Hello Testing.

Dont know if its intentional with quick reply or something overlooked.

Are you using the WYSIWYG editor?

The normal quick reply doesn't really retains any format beyond new lines.

Straight into the quick reply here on SMF below last post Suki.

Well, it won't, unless you put BBC tags there. It's not supposed to. When you copy the text, your computer doesn't see that it's in italics, bold, struck-out, or underlined. It just copies the text and when you paste it, you're pasting plain text.

This is plain text, when you copy it.

It'll do exactly the same, if you paste it into Notepad, or Word.

If you do a quote, then you will get the BBC, as it takes the original post.
But just doing regular copy/paste, your computer does not parse the bbc, so it treats it as plain text.
