Update caused pasted text to automatically highlight
The recent update to the "new" Teams as made it so that anytime I copy text on a website and paste it into chat it auto-highlights the text. This has added an annoying step in my process when I communicate long complex contract numbers to have to un-highlight everything I type after the paste. I would just like to find a way to go back to where I could copy text from the browser and paste it with it being plain text.

Shreff also been getting this for a long time - are there any updates or workarounds?
Temp work around
I turned on Clipboard History. Then press Win + V, next to the item you want to paste click the 3 dots and Paste as Text.I use a Surface Book 3 for work and Ctrl+Shift+V does not work.
Microsoft, please provide an update!Ctrl+Shift+V does nothing. It does not paste.
Only Ctrl+V pastes and it makes the thing being pasted unreadable.
Which basically means nothing can be pasted in Teams
- Hello,
Any update Microsoft? this issue is really annoying and was caused through a teams update.
Thanks! Shreff I'm not really sure I understand the change you are seeing, but to paste text without formatting using Ctrl-Shift-V rather than Ctrl-V on Windows.
StevenC365 That works, but it's pulling the background color formatting off the website and pasting it as a highlight. It never did this before a month ago.
