Like copy and paste a link from the address bar in a browser?
Like that? (It was the next tab open on my browser).
When you paste a link in, you have to hit the space bar afterward; otherwise, it just stays as text. This is quite the same as the old forums. I hope this helps. If not, my bad.

Cut and Paste are apparently disabled.

It doesn’t seem to matter. Cannot paste anything. On Firefox on windows, or on safari on iPad.

So you are telling me that you "pasted" the URL to foxnews into the text editor? If that is what you did, it does not work for me. I am able to type the whole link in, but I cannot cut and paste.

To clarify: Are you saying you're unable to paste a link in at all, or that it is not turning into a clickable link (hyperlink) after it is pasted in?

If I highlight text, I can click on a link symbol and then paste a URL.

Is something wrong with the copy-and-paste functions on your computer or device? I only ask because I'm having no issue on my computer, phone, or iPad.

I just tried it on my iPhone and it worked. So I went and tried again on my iPad which had not worked before. It works now.
But my Windows desktop with Firefox still does not work.

No Jonathan. It wasn’t working before, but now it does on the iPad and the iPhone. for some reason it still doesn’t work in the Firefox browser. I’m not sure why it started working maybe there doing something on the other end? But thanks for your help.

Right now, I'm out of town using Firefox on my MacBook. When I get home on Monday, I'll try it on my Windows desktop with Firefox.

@John Please do let us know if this persists. I'll also watch for your follow up, @Jonathan Bradley. I cannot reproduce this issue on my end.

Thanks David. My Firefox is an old version that ran on Windows 7. But it did get some kind of security fix last week. I am leaning towards it not being on my end, because it wasn’t working on my iPad either.
