Two spaces added by Opera on pasting

Everytime I copy something from Excel cell and paste it to any textbox or password box, Opera adds two additional spaces at the end. While Chrome adds one space and Firefox works perfect. Why?
Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/6.5.26955/26.1036; U; en) Presto/2.8.119 Version/10.54
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; Edition Next; en) Presto/2.9.220 Version/12.00

I think i can not confirm your issue. Please, add more details in your description.
- Which Version of Opera?
- Which Version of Office/Excel? 2007, 2011 or older?
- Operating System
- Do you copy text from two cells in the same column or from two cells in different columns (same row)?

You may have a look at this thread as there are already a few issues known with copy and paste:

That thread is somewhat related. Here's details you asked:
- Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; Edition Indian Local; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51
- Excel 2007, but I guess there would be similar problem in Excel 2010
- I am copying data from one cell only, by clicking on cell to select it and then press Ctrl+C

There's mention in that thread about Opera 12 Dev Release, where can I get it?

You can always get the latest snapshot (dev release) here:
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

You can easily install them next to your normal Opera install. They introduced "Opera Next", which makes it possible to have a complete separated install of these snapshots.

I can confirm it, the problem occurs for copying between Opera tabs as well. I use Opera 11.52, compilation 1100 on Windows 7 64-bit SP1.

I can't confirm two additional spaces. What exactly are you seeing? Something like "test " or
"test
"

In fact when you copy a cell you will get the word in it, a carriage return and a line feed.


In computing, the carriage return (CR) is one of the control characters in ASCII code, Unicode, EBCDIC, or many other codes. It commands a printer or other sort of output system such as a display to move the position of the cursor to the first position on the same line. It was mostly used along with line feed, a move to the next line, so that together they start a new line.
