When copying a box quote from Veritula, the box quote formatting (>) is lost.

To be clear, if you copy the entire box quote and paste it into a textarea, it will start with the > sign. I just double checked.

You’re saying you’d still want the > if you only copy/pasted part of the box quote, right?

This doesn't work for me the way it does for you. I tried copying the entire quote, and also in a separate attempt, copying extra stuff above and below the box quote, and neither gave me the > sign.

I have tried on my windows computer and my iPad.

I tried copying the entire quote…

Cannot reproduce. If I triple-click a word in a box quote, then copy/paste, I get the > sign.

Ah, but I can reproduce when I manually make the selection by clicking and dragging to cover the entire quote.

Cannot reproduce, neither on iPad nor macOS.
