 * I create a page in WP which I was editing using the front-end editor – I pasted
   some Lorem Ipsum text from [http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html](http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html)
   into it, which worked, although right margin was off somewhat. I then selected
   the text area in the inline editor and chose “Remove Formatting” from the floating
   tool bar… after a brief pause, it dumped:
 * `= result) {result = value;}}); return result; }> b ? 1 : 0;}).pluck("value");}
   > i; j--) { if (this[i][0] == this[j][0]) { this.splice(j, 1); } } } }>`
 * at the start of the text area followed by the Lorem Ipsum text in quotes – ???.
 * So, I tried it again, but this time using notepad as an intermediary paste/copy
   source to strip out possible hidden code and the inline editor inserted:
 * `= result) {result = value;}}); return result; }>`
 * but kept the Lorem Ipsum text in a clean format.
 * If I have to train end-users on complexities of 2-3 cut/paste operations, they
   won’t use it. Is there heavier filtering possible for cut/paste? The Javascript
   looks to be some sort of internal overrun/bug.
 * Thoughts?

 * That’s a very strange issue.
 * What browser are you using? Does it happen if you try in another browser?
