Fixes the issue https://sendbird.atlassian.net/browse/CLNP-4962
where HTML entities like
§
or<
were being automatically converted to their corresponding symbols (§ or >) when pasting content into a contentEditable element.Changes
The
document.execCommand('insertHTML', false, sanitizeString(text))
command was replaced withdocument.execCommand('insertText', false, sanitizeString(text))
.This change ensures that HTML entities are inserted as plain text rather than being interpreted and converted by the browser. Now it prevents unintended conversion of HTML entities, maintaining the original text as expected when pasting content.
How to test?
Try this on the preview.
Type
§
and copy & paste the text to the input box. The exact same text(=§
) should be on the input not§
.
