When i try to paste something in the editor, it just make a newline.

Vivaldi, Ubuntu 64bit (it worked days ago)

Can you please give a specific example of something you tried to paste, and where? Have you checked whether the browser needs to be updated? (These are the only reported issues with newlines in the editor so far.)

Simple text

Does this happen if you copy a single word from the middle of a sentence, and paste it into the middle of an existing sentence, or only if you copy and paste the end of a pargraph? How many newlines do you get? (For example, one before and one after, or only one after the pasted text?)

This happen in every case you mention. 1 newline

I am having a similar issue. One workaround that might work for you is to copy paste twice, which works for me.

It turns out my issue was a chrome extension; have you tried turning off all your extensions and commenting out all your JS scripts in User:Username/Common.js? One of them may be the culprit.
