Pasting rich text to MS OneNote

Pasting rich text to MS OneNote from some applications (like JetBrains IntelliJ) loses all spaces.

Update: This issue has been solved (11/2024). Don't know if I should thank JetBrains or Microsoft.

Example:

background:#ffff99url('../images/cat.jpg')no-repeatfixedcentercenter;

You can of course choose to paste text only (CTRL + SHIFT +V), which will keep spaces, but loose formatting :-/ 

Example:

background: #ffff99 url('../images/cat.jpg') no-repeat fixed center center;

Solution

Install the OneMore OneNote plugin.Now you can past with CTRL + ALT + V, to get what you want:

background: #ffff99 url('../images/cat.jpg') no-repeat fixed center center;

With the plugin you get a slew of other handy One Note functions like Find and Replace (!), modifying tables...

OneNote: Looks like this section is corrupted... (fixed)

...OneNote might be able to fix it, but you should avoid working here in the meantime. 

This was the scary error message I received from MS OneNote on my windows 10 system.
This section  lives on Google Drive File Stream, not sure if this has any impact.
These are the steps I tried to solve the problem:

• OneNote proposes to resync the section. 
• This does not solve the issue 
• Online resources suggest copying the pages to another section, the deleting the corrupted section.
• I did that, leaving some old pages in there.
• I deleted the corrupted section
• The section disappeared, but quickly reappeared, still corrupted
• I removed all pages, I emptied the notebook recycle bin
• I deleted the corrupted section again
•  The section disappeared, but quickly reappeared, still corrupted, so I do not think sep 4 had any effect
• I moved the now empty section to another notebook
• I deleted the copied section in the other notebook
• All my notebooks are fine now

Little known truths

Microsoft OneNote does not have find and replace.

Install the OneMore OneNote plugin to add this incomprehensible omission.
