Fellow oXygen users, I'm nagged by the ever-present copy and paste problem from VirtualBox when pasting text from, say, an XP guest to a Mac host. The paste text includes a BOM at the start and a NUL at the end. Thankfully, oXygen strips the NUL so as not to make the XML document not-well-formed (Emacs doesn't do such stripping), but the BOM U+FEFF at the beginning of the paste buffer ends up in my XML and is not visible (though walking around with the cursor eventually finds it). It is visible in Emacs so I instantly am reminded of the issue ... I tend to forget the issue when pasting in oXygen. Has anyone figured out a way to configure either VirtualBox or oXygen to prevent the BOM from ending up in the edited file during a standard paste action? Thanks for any advice anyone may have regarding this! . . . . . . . . . . .
