Copied text has bad formatting #1191

When I try to copy text from the app, the text in copied wrong.

For example, if I copy the paragraph here:
image

The text I get is:

It would be as great a mistake, however,
to try to base a hard-and-fast theory on the
denial of the rule as on its assertion. Instances
of short stories made out of subjects that
could have been expanded into a novel, and
that are yet typical short stories and not
mere stunted novels, will occur to every one.
General rules in art are useful chiefly as a
lamp in a mine, or a hand-rail down a black
stairway; they are necessary for the sake of
the guidance they give, but it is a mistake,
once they are formulated, to be too much in
awe of them.

It looks exactly the same as the text in the image, but the end of each line of the reader is a new line in the copied text. It makes it that if I want to share the quote with anywhere, I have to go through and delete all the returns in order to get a proper paragraph
