Can't copy/pase resources from inventory anymore.

Did someone change something? Now when I copy/paste my inventory into a text file, it copies all the icon messages with it.
[Drop this object] [Give this object away] [Eat this material to get back some strength] [Use this material on a project] 10 grams of rice
Needless to say, this makes managing resources lists impossible. It worked fine yesterday.
Edit: I'm using Firefox. When I switched to Safari, it didn't copy/paste the icon text (but it didn't copy/paste them in the typical way either). Still, did someone change something?

Yeah, something here changed a couple of days ago for sure.

It was overnight for me, because I just made a list yesterday just fine.

I noticed it about about this time yesterday, maybe a bit earlier.

This has been happening for as long as a week, for me (I use firefox. I made several lists by copy & pasting, and they looked like you showed, with the icons showing up as text). Some notes I have dated at 2884 were subject to this (a find & replace took care of most of it) It possibly may have been happening for a day or two more than that (I copied the texts into notepad where I managed it before making notes out of it)

Could copy and paste the list into word, use find and replace to remove them, only having to do it once for each. "[Drop this object] [Give this object away] [Eat this material to get back some strength] [Use this material on a project]"
Makes it faster...

If I ever get around to rewriting my Item List Formatter, I should add an option to remove alt text.

I remember it being like that for quite a long time on my Firefox.

Very strange. I guess it's a Firefox update then. I wonder if there's a way to change it in preferences.

It may be possible through navigating to about:config.

Do you have Microsoft Excel?
Copy/paste, then copy the column with the info you want/need.
Figured this out the other day.. was surprised at how well it worked.
