[Bug?] Subtitles breaking with pasted text
Hi,
I have a weird issue that somehow destroys the subtitles menu (SubsLineLabel) für some dialogue lines. Look at this image:

In the game, action (2) produces only a small artifact in the subtitles menu. Action (15) works. But ... I copied the text from (2) over to (15). So they should be completely identical.
Only difference I can find is when I mark the dialogue text with CTRL+A, Action (2) looks a little weird, like it does not get all the text.
I copy text from Word (where I write dialogue) into the AC actions. Most of the lines work. I think about 5 - 10 % of dialogue is affected from this bug. There is no rule, no systematic I can see behind it. Makes it incredibly hard to fix or prevent, because I can only find the issue in play mode, have to write down where it is, and copy+paste the same action in there.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? What would you need to replicate this?
My subitles menu is pretty much untouched. AC menu, center low position, aligned, automatic resize. Works flawless most of the time.
Howdy, Stranger!

My gut tells me this is likely a Unity issue, and one to do with the way it handles formatting / potentially hidden characters from the text buffer. I suspect the text you're copying from Word contains additional data beyond the raw text.
Try copying your text from Word into a raw text editor, such as Sublime Text, then copy again from there into Unity. Does it then paste correctly? You could likely test this quickly from your browser's address bar: copy the text from Word into the URL bar, then copy that (which will now be raw text) into Unity.
