Copying Web Page Bug ??

Post by Blake Harris »

I selected and copied an article from Wired site:

https://www.wired.com/story/jacques-val ... -ufos-are/

Pasted it into Textmaker.

Then in Textmaker, I selected the section under MOST POPULAR (i.e. the photos and text promoting other articles) and tried to del this section with both the delete key and the cut function.

The section is deleted. But shortly after reappears again in the article. With repeated select and deletes, the section continues to reappear again in Textmaker.

So I can't get rid of this section from the rest of the article saved in Textmaker.

This happens because the most popular section is on the right of the webpage and keeps appearing while you scroll the browser, so it gets copied into the clipboard. If you paste it into TextMaker, Word, or any other program it's always pasted multiple times.
Solution: Print the page into a PDF file in your browser via File | Print | Save as PDF and then copy and paste the contents of the PDF file into TextMaker.
