Notes App: Copy & Paste Inconsistent
I love using the Notes app, but copy and paste often does not work. This is a very simple basic function that just does not work consistently on a Mac, as it should.
Essentially I highlight text and copy, then paste in the app or in another and some fragment from the last thing I copied or some completely random short text or some tiny portion of what I wanted to copy over shows up when I hit paste.
I have had three macs in the last year and I have had this problem with all of them. The two I had for the last few years have had this problem for years.
I keep questioning whether I should stop using the notes app because sometimes I have to completely type something out again to get it into another application which is completely ridiculous... but I just keep using it.
For others who are experiencing this problem - here are some of my workarounds which should not be necessary:
Drag and drop often works
Sometimes, a smaller chunk of a larger paragraph will copy/paste so you can do it in chunks
Sometimes, none of this works.
It would be much easier if Apple would correct the bug once and for all. This is such a basic app. Copy/paste shouldn't be a problem. It's one of the only things you would do in this app.
