### What issue do you have?

I'm frequently using code blocks, especially multi-line with ```  
I found sometimes when I press the "copy" button in the rendered markdown view a `⧉ Copied!` text is added to the note body. It seems to be an artifact from the editor which shows the Copied! overlay but definitely it's not my intent to add this text to my note. Can someone confirm this behavior and maybe any idea how to avoid this? Maybe a bug from older version? It doesn't happen all time so I can't exactly isolate the problem but often enough so I find multiple notes with few occurrences of the string in my collection.

I believe that this is caused by the Code-Clipboard plugin. Something similar has previously been reported.

> New install/New user grinning After every code block I get the text "⧉ Copied!" on a line right below the block. I can't figure out where this is coming from and how to stop it. If I remove it, it just comes right back. Anybody seen this behavior? MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 Joplin 2.9.17 (prod, darwin) Sync Version: 3 Profile Version: 41 Keychain Supported: Yes Revision: a84a8e7

Are you sure you are using the Markdown Editor / Viewer and not the Rich-Text Editor _as_ a viewer because I believe the issue only occurred with the Rich-Text Editor.

There is one issue on the developers GitHub page for this plugin and it refers to users encountering a similar problem.

Sadly the developers last comment (March 2024) is

> Sorry to hear that it is not working for you. I currently don't maintain this repo. You are welcome to create a pull request if you find a solution, however there is no guarantee that it will be merged.

So it looks like the plugin will not be updated or fixed.

**EDIT:** The [**Copy Code Blocks**](https://joplinapp.org/plugins/plugin/com.joplin.copy.codeBlocks/) plugin seems to do something similar and was last updated JAN25. I have not tried it and the example animation only shows it being used in the Markdown Editor.

I **usually** don't use Rich-Text editor, because the switch doesn't has any (easy?) keyboard combo. I definitely spend more than 90% of the time using "non rich" Markdown editor just switch between text and rendered view using crtl+l I can't say for sure but it would huge coincidence if all the occurrences resulted from rare cases when I'm using rich editor..

thank you for the reference, funny I didn't found this topic on my own (I would have expected "Copied!" string is unique enough to find) Thank for the hint with stale plugin. I'll switch to "Copy Code blocks" and see if it helps.
