Anytime a coworker of mine copies SQL into Lync, we can't past it into SQL Server Management Studio. Lync adds unrecognizable empty characters... Why? It is so annoying.

Hello Todd!

The February update for the Lync 2013 client addressed issues with copy/paste from a Lync chat window, and it has definitely proved to clear up the issues we were seeing in our environment. If you haven't done so already, install the update and let me know if that did the trick for you: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=45792.

Hi Todd Hilehoffer,

To better understand you issue, I suggest you post a screenshot or the codes here.

Please provide more information, so that we can test and troubleshoot it.

Best regards,

Eric
