It's Chrome actually - I don't know if it's related, but since the last time I used the editor also if I paste some text from a pre section into a new paragraph, all of the text except the last line is copied properly - the last line gets formatted as paragraph text but with span styling to make it monospaced fonts.
Trying to think of anything else that might help... I've got no funny extensions on Chrome, was using the editor in the WSIWYG mode. Typically I create a code block via the menu, then right click and use 'paste as plain text'. In the past this has never caused problems, but it's actually been about 2 months since I've written an article. It was changing cursor pos about on average once or twice per code block I was working on.
Has anyone else had any similar issues? I can try and come up with a more detailed repro if that helps.

Hello codeproject,
I get more information form codeproject are very useful ,its my suggestion to add two category Data Mining and Big Data .In which this is emerging field and it will be help full to many developers how is working on it .. Other Users who feels the same support for this suggestion.

He's saying that when people write enough articles to create a new section for them, that section will be written.
Do you have an srticle you wish to contribute on the subject? Do you know any articles here that should be in your new section?
If not, then it will be a very empty and sad looking page.

I suggest that new members be limited to X number of posts within the first day of their membership. This might prevent people from signing up just to post 10 or 20 spam messages.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I second this. Yesterday late night, I have reported those 6 spam messages & went to sleep(I thought he stopped). And morning I saw more than bunch of messages from him.
When OP(spammer) & his messages got reported, Admins should restrict him to post new messages.

Then they will sign up, wait a day, and then spam.
I think that a member's posting privileges should be restricted if N posts they have made (where N is some arbitrary number) are reported as spam or abusive within a certain time period. That would not completely prevent spam, but it would prevent a lot of it from being posted.
Other factors that could be considered are the age of the account and the member's reputation (i.e. Lots of rep == restriction-free)

Don't you think you underestimate the patience and stoicism of those buggers?

Very strange: today I have not reported an objection to any post on CP. And, I have not bookmarked anything.
But, my rep detail is showing 4 report objects, and one BookMark, all made at the same time: 7:21 PM GMT +07.
These "phantom actions" do have a common "scene of the crime:" they have "happened" while I have had the same thread on Q&A [^] open for some time, because I am in the process of replying, in detail, to a response from the OP to a detailed query I made as a comment on the OP, and I am going back-and-forth between trying things out in Visual Studio, and studying the OP's question, and response, as I write my response.
I cannot ever imagine reporting a solution posted by OriginalGriff, unless one of the report options was titled something like: "Cosmic Singularity of Excellence" 
Please, undo these strange actions.
thanks, Bill

I've seen many old questions re-activated because spammers post new answers to old questions. By old I mean 1 or 2 years old but the same could be applied to questions which are 2 months old. IMHO, if no new answers are allowed, then that should avoid spamming to such questions and the task of each moderator to remove users & comments. thanks,

There are legit reasons for new answers.
-Say you searched for a topic and found a one-year old question.
-You follow the steps provided by the solution. But it didn't work for you
-You find the solution yourself based on the steps you found in this question
-You add your own solution if someone else might have the same issue as you did.

I disagree. StackOverFlow does have a feature where a question can be "frozen" for further response to prevent "me too" answers, and such, but StackOverFlow operates by "committee" in cases like that, and CP, imho, operates with very different principles.
There may well be a time when someone wants to post a much better, or more efficient, solution, or answer than those already present.
Also, we can report answers.
However, where I think I am in agreement with you would be that I think there should be some other options in the 'report drop-down. One of those might be "duplicate answer."
But then, there's a cost to CP: somebody has to evaluate what may be hard-to-distinguish differences between one answer and a new one ... that means someone has to take some time, really study, perhaps, both solutions. Not feasible, imho.
However, if CP used the existing method (which I assume is automated), as on the Lounge, that with a certain number of reports a message can be removed automatically, that might work.
But do any of these ideas have a real benefit to CP, as a whole, compared to the potential engineering, and staff-time costs ?
So, report what you think is Spam, as Spam, and move on ?
yours, Bill

I get the point for both sides.
How about disallowing new answers to questions that have been marked as answered?

Yeah but think about this statement, and I hate to be epicurean but ... "I'm not a spammer"! Why would I be ostracized for posting a legimate spin on an old post. Particularly if it answers the question?
I think data is timeless.
The flip side of closing a post because it's been answered is that he same question gets reposted.
And consider HOW I got to this post and added my answer.
And why are "Solutions" numbered?
And ...

Hello everyone,
Since last many days,i found many questions where OP didn't show any effort. They just ask for the code or copy paste the error in Quick Answers section.I think one more reporting option should be there like, No Effort, in order to let others/the one who manages all this stuff internally know that OP have not put a single try.Refer to these snapshots.
http://s20.postimg.org/e270fhapp/photofun_168301404.jpg[^]
Its not an abuse or spam,question is complete as nothing needs to be added,not off topic and also can't be considered as Not a question. Only effort can be explained in order to resolve it,that is remaining, so NO EFFORT.
http://s20.postimg.org/6aqagx6kd/photofun_1856223619.jpg[^]
It was edited at the time i got the snapshot. Actual question was just 'PLEASE PROVIDE ANSWER'. This can be reported as Unclear/ Incomplete,but also as NO EFFORT.
It will be much beneficial for everyone if we have this mechanism.

The primary function of the reporting system is an intervention of the CodeProject team to stop something the members of the site can't.
In a lot of these cases, neither you nor I can convince a lazy OP to improve their question. Unless you're suggesting this be a feature to mark that user's profile for being "No Effort," whereby 5 votes will de-activate their account, I think the appropriate action here is to report the question as unclear/incomplete, upon which 3 votes from 3 members will close that question.
If I come across an unclear/incomplete report on a bad question with no improvement, and no answer, that's been sitting there for awhile, I delete it.
There are too many reports as is. All we really need is a "bad question" report. The reason is immaterial. The bottom line is, is this question going to stay, or is it going to go?
Thanks,
Sean Ewington
