Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: --> after 4.1

  • OS: Mac (m1chip)

  • TeX distribution: miktex

Problem with format not holding when copy and pasting table from R

Expected behavior: In previous versions, the format was intact when pasting a table output from R.

ex) \begin{table} \caption \label \begin{tabular} ... \end{tabular}

So I was able to easily copy and paste output from R

Actual behavior

Now the format is being ignored and line spaces are not holding up, so when I copy and paste the above R output into texstudio, it would be pasted as: \begin{table} \caption\label\begin{tabular} ...\end{tabular}

which is very annoying and makes it hard to read the table. The newest version 4.2 seems to have the same problem, any quick updates would be much appreciated!

Thanks.
