In the video below, I Ctrl+C a text from the Object Properties panel to a new text object, and when Ctrl+V it become invisible…
known issue… still not resolved
becomes annoying when there’s lots of short text to be orgaized

I’m on Rhino 8 SR11 2024-8-20 (Rhino 8, 8.11.24233.01001) and the problem is still visible.
Same here using (8.12.24239.2001, 2024-08-26).
Thanks all. Let’s post SystemInfo and see if there is any pattern in the environments.

Japhy, paste adfasdf in a new line below zzzzz.
Before:
zzzzz
After:
zzzzz
adfasdf
adfasdf is not visible.
Ok, so sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn’t. I couldn’t find the pattern yet
(Pasting in an existing line = no problem)

Found out something:
When I paste the word “Invisible”, and select it then (while it is not visible), then hit Ctrl+Space, it becomes visible.
Ctrl+Space for removing the text formatting, like in Word etc.

Still haven’t seen it yet.
My Keyboard goes to a windows command from PowerToys with Cntl+Space. I’ll start poking at text formatting/keyboard possibilities.
I could reproduce the Ctrl-Space 
Not me
Paste:
The
Invisible
Man
Select all, and then try Ctrl+Space - no luck.
In the YT it reads the cause could be an ETO control.
Now I tried in V7, which is not etoish, and the same invisibility happens.
EDIT:
In V7 pasted text becomes invisible only when COPIED from the V8 textbox.
Seems pasting is not the problem but copying.
V5 + V6 behave correct.
The good thing is that they don’t have to wait for a fix in the ETO framework

Using InsideClipboard from NirSoft, I found out why the text is invisible.
To retrace:
In Rhino V7, call _Text.
Enter a sole q.
Select the q.
Ctrl+C
In InsideClipboard look at the Format Name Rich Text Format.
In the pane below, read the RTF string.
Near the end is a \cf0.
\cf is the control word for the fore color.
Do the same in Rhino V8.
In the RTF string the fore color is missing.
Once the forecolor of the text is defined, copy+paste in the dialog works fine.
Copy this:
And paste below
