copy-pasting from VSCode behavior

[fpvandoorn]

If I copy-paste text from VSCode into the Loogle search bar, and the search bar is already non-empty, two unexpected things happen:

• A space is inserted before and after the pasted text (if the cursor is not at the end or the beginning of the existing search query at least)
• The cursor is placed one character before the end of the pasted string

This behavior is easily visible if you copy text in VSCode and then paste it multiple times in the Loogle search bar.

I am using Windows & Firefox.

Hmm, can’t reproduce on Firefox and Linux. Does it depend on what you are copying, e.g. if it involves unicode or backslashes or so?

Nope, it can be any word or a single letter, highlighted or not. I expect that it has to do with the fact that some markup is copied with it.

FWIW: I also cannot reproduce this on Windows + Chrome...

E.g. if I copy AddAction from VSCode, and paste it a couple times in Chrome I get

AddActionAddActionAddActionAddActionAddActionAddActionAddActionAddAction

in Firefox I get

AddAction AddActio AddActio AddActio AddActio AddActio AddActio
AddAction
n n n n n n

Only when copying it here I notice that there's even newlines in there...
