Cannot copy and paste new lines of a multi-line code block

Here's an oddity we've found when testing this. If you not only select the text IN the snippet window (line numbered text), but you also select the row above the box containing the data type lable (SQL, TEXT etc)... you keep your line breaks from the box. If you don't select that top line, you get the code snippet text all mashed together with no line breaks or tabs.

I think this is the crux of the problem and should be resolved. Having to work around it is not a suitable solution. Especially if that involves responding to ask the sender to re-send in a different format. That's just embarrassing.

Exactly.

The best way to reply back to the customer is to ask them to re-send their message as a multi-line code block. This will ensure that the formatting of the code remains intact and will make it easier to read.

Due to the above issue, this isn't possible.

Create a 'code snippet' and enter some text on a few separate lines

Now, from the chat window, copy that text into an editor.

Observe everything on one line.

This is a bug surely?

I've noticed that this doesn't happen to code snippets in a 'channel' but does when in a personal/group message.

This doesn't appear to work for me. It technically keeps the original line returns but then also introduces additional breaks.

So if it should look like this:

Line1

Line2

Line 3

It will look like this:

Line1

Line2

Line3

This is problematic with long blocks of code.
