Empty Space Copy Paste – Trick or Time-Saver? #87

Hey all,

Has anyone else noticed the weird “empty space copy paste” phenomenon? You highlight seemingly blank areas in documents or forums, paste them elsewhere, and suddenly mysterious spaces, invisible characters, or formatting appear. It’s frustrating when trying to clean up text or share code, but some people use it to create secret formatting tricks or text placeholders.

I’m curious if this is just a quirk of certain editors or an intentional feature. How do you deal with these phantom spaces? Any tools or tips to detect and remove them efficiently without breaking the text?
