Lets try something here, the input field is not filled until you actually perform one of two things.  Either type something in the field OR hit enter at the end of the cut and paste.  So cut and paste some text an then at the end of that text press enter.  The save it and it should save the text.

 

Let us know thanks.

There is problem with copy paste ..

Your passage will appear after a while .

 If you paste from somewhere else you should select " Paste as plain text " .. most common error with copy past i get is it says " Please fill the form properly" at that time I just delete last word of para and writ it again and it works.

Saif,  That is because copy and paste does not load the input field, only pressing enter or text will do that.   If you copy and paste you must press enter at the end or enter some kind of text from the keyboard.

I have this problem on Opera, I have to use ctrl+V to paste anything I've copied.

Thans Dave , But why it is with oxwall only ? As a webmaster we can understand it but user see it as an error , any way to fix this ?

It could have something to do with the way they sanitize the field im not sure exactly what causes this either.  I have had this happen as well on other scripts so its not so unusual.

 

If i had to take a stab in the dark i would say they might be checking the value with JS but not on the php side, as php will execute before JS.   But that is a real stab in the dark.

Any chance you can provide your site URL ( here or via PM)?

Would also be great to have the content you tried to paste ( just in case).

Can't reproduce the issue on my end on your site.
Text gets pasted without problems.
