Invisible characters when copying text from forum

alternatively titled: this forum software sucks! 

When this nasty "Quote selection" pop-up appears, it must be adding a Zero-Width No-Breaking Space (ZWNBSP). Have a look:



It has cost me another 10 minutes to figure out and remove, because the software complained about an invalid character in config.
And Notepad++ saved the day, because it's so easy to show invisible characters using it.

That thing is most probably the reason why I always place a dot on a newline before doing LOG formats, spoilers, quotes or link embeds and leave them there if no text is following, otherwise I cannot type immediately after it or when editing. You learn to work around these quirks with time, but, well… IP.Board places those everywhere.
