Teams Copy and Paste Multiple Boxes

Hi, when I copy and paste some text into teams I get multiple boxes around the text. If I paste the text into the notes app then re copy and past into teams it is fine and looks normal but quite frustrating that I have to do that every time. How do I stop the boxes appearing?

    Please share more on where the source text is copied from. It sounds like when the copy is being made it is picking up additional styling that might exist there. It may not show to the eye there, but it is re-interpreted visible by the Teams styling code. Apps like notepad don't interpret styling code (it throws it away) so when it is pasted there in-between, that is why when it is re-used afterwards Teams would also not include it.
