Issues with copy/paste

This may be a personal issue, with some sort of browser setting or something, but if I'm writing a PM or forum post (or anything on the site, really) if I copy and paste text into the post, when I attempt to submit it, I get the error "Please include both a title and content for your post." This happens whether the entire content is copy/pasted, or whether it's something as small as pasting a link at the end of a paragraph. This has always been an issue for me while using Google Chrome, but only very recently started happening on FireFox (within the last few days). If it's an issue on my end, any ideas on how to solve it? It's really, *really* fucking frustrating.

Hmm... I've been having the same issue intermittently in the last few weeks. I thought it was just me. I'm on Chrome as well. Let's start by trying this: Can you please follow Steps 1-3 of our Solving Technical Issues wiki page, taking special care to temporarily disable all browser add-ons and extensions, temporarily pause your anti-virus, and try switching browsers (for Chrome/Firefox specific issues) to see if one of those components is causing the problem. If all of that fails, please follow Step 4 , including providing all of the necessary information, so that we can further assist you.
Well I'll just go ahead and make this the official bug report then? The description is in the first post. To reproduce this bug, I guess this copy and paste text into any text field for a forum or private message, and attempt to post it. I encounter this issue on Google Chrome (42.0.2311.135) and Mozilla Firefox (37.0). My OS is Windows 7 (home premium, if it matters). JavaScript is enabled, and I use no active/automatic antivirus (only manual-use software for removing shit after I find it). The extensions I have in Google Chrome are AdBlock Plus and Kill Evil, but the bug affects even if they are disabled. The extension I use in Firefox is AdBlock Plus, but again, bug happens if it's disabled. It should be noted that the bug is constant in Google Chrome, but sometimes has about a 50/50 rate of affecting Firefox. As such, I couldn't get a screencap of it happening in Firefox, but here's a cap of it in Chrome (forgive the LotR thing; dual monitors)

Can you get a console log (step 4 above) for the page where you try to submit it?
Oh, shit, I knew was forgetting something. Yeah, gimme one second. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/0vga53t.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/0vga53t.png</a>
Also, here's a better cap of the bug in action. Since I started this thread, it's only occurred once while copy/pasting in Firefox, but still happens every time in Chrome. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/zLr0P0e.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/zLr0P0e.jpg</a>

Johnathan, do the size and content of your PMs effect the problem? I'm thinking the issue might be an enconding one having to do with symbols or something similar that the PM is failing to interpret correctly.
No, Steve. It happens regardless of size /content as long as any section of the text is pasted.
