In the graphite webapp, if I open the "find" and paste something (cmd+v), • if the search box is empty, it pastes the content and that's the entirety of the find query 👍 • if the contents of the find box are non-empty, Graphite prepends a space to my query 👎 That is, • find box has the contents "`<`" • I paste

MyComponent

• Rather than "`<MyComponent`", the box has "`< MyComponent`" This is totally weird, unprecedented, crazy-making, definitely should not be the UX.

This is the kind of thing I would expect in Microsoft Word but would never expect or tolerate in an IDE.

Hey Zach, very strange. Ive been unable to reproduce this yet. Which find box are you seeing it happen in? the code editor? the PR page? What browser / does it happen across browsers for you?

Google Chrome, MacOS

Okay maybe it's slightly smaller in scope and has to do more with what's on the clipboard

If I double-click a symbol in the graphite diff viewer, e.g.

function MyComponent

and double-click

MyComponent

, and cmd+c, then I do the pasting as described above, I get the extra space

Yeah it's definitely not arbitrary text

Zach S

But seems like any symbol I copy from the diff viewer has this behavior

Zach S

But I confirmed I don't get an extra space when pasting into other editors, e.g. url search bar or my ide

Hoping Graphite becomes as great as it can be 🙏 I'm a squeaky wheel but I do care about the stuff I use thanks in advance
