Different copy/paste behavior on Mac v Windows?
I just noticed that when I copy a section on my Mac and paste it into my notes file that footnote content is carried over and pasted and the source is hyperlinked. But when I perform the same action on Windows the footnotes are not pasted and the source is not hyperlinked.
Did I somehow change the default behavior of copy/paste on Windows or does the Mac version of L8 just have more functionality in terms of copy/paste?
Here is a picture. The top example is a copy/paste from Mac and the bottom is copy/paste of same material on Windows (I manually deleted the footnote paste in the Mac version, so that doesn't appear in the picture below):

Yes, it is different on the two platforms and it drives me nuts as a Windows user.

I'm assuming that they are working on adding this feature to Windows?

If you refer to the rendering of the superscripts 414, 415, Windows to Word 365 does that quite well, unless you "Keep text only" as a Paste option.
I can't reproduce your specific issue as I don't have the resource. What is your citation style?
Edit: I misunderstood, as pasting from a resource into the Notes tool does not preserve superscripts. But I thought this would be applicable to Mac Notes as well?

Yes, number 5 on the missing functionality list found at https://www.logos.com/faq/notes

Thanks. You're correct that it works fine in Word, but I am using the Notes tool within Logos.
(My assumption was that this was an issue related to how copying/pasting works, but I guess it is actually an issue with how the Notes tool works within Logos on Windows.)

Seems that way, as superscripts were rendered correctly in Logos 7 on Windows, but the Missing Functionality for Notes states "Copy and paste from resources with citation links" - no mention of being OS specific!?
