Issue with duplicated line breaks when copying text to Storyline

Dear Articulate community,

I'm encountering an issue when copying text from various sources, such as Google Spreadsheets and Notepad, into Storyline. It seems that line breaks in the text are being duplicated, affecting the formatting in Storyline.

I have already attempted copying the text to a text editor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs to remove any unwanted formatting, but the problem persists. I have also tried pasting the text as plain text in Storyline, but it hasn't resolved the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, are there any possible solutions or workarounds you have discovered? I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas to resolve this issue, allowing me to copy the text correctly into Storyline without the occurrence of duplicated line breaks.

As an example, tekst underneath from Notepad:

hello

hello 

hello

...will result in:

hello

 

hello

 

hello

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,

Erik

    most text editors on window are using for a line break CR + LF (2 char)

    storyline is using LF (1 char) -> result: duplicated line breaks in Storyline (CR -> LF, LF -> LF)

    try the free text editor notepad+++

    copy/paste: word -> notepad++ -> storyline

    now switch (right mouse click) in notepad++ to Unix (LF)
