paste text without format

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

I see that LV 2012 uses the original text font/size/style when pasting text from the clipboard.

LV 2011 and earlier didn't.  They just pasted the text using the font/etc of the object it is pasted into.

 

Is there a way to disable this "feature" or should I report it as a bug?

I didn't turn up anything when I searched for this.

Don't be fooled, this bug (in my book) has existed for many, many versions.

We need an option to strip all formatting when pasting as well as not add a hidden symbolic font designation.

 

(LabVIEW 2013 fixed quite a few font related bugs, but it is still not perfect)
