Description
Hello Elementor team,
I am extremely disappointed and honestly shocked at the lack of basic text editing functionality in Elementor Pro.
I upgraded expecting professional tools, but I cannot perform the simplest task: pasting multi line text into a widget and formatting it with bullet points. Elementor collapses every pasted paragraph into one single line, no matter what widget I use or how I format the text beforehand.
I have tested:
• Text Editor
• HTML widget
• List widget
• Pasting plain text
• Pasting from Notepad
• Pasting from code blocks
• Using
tags
• Using double line breaks
• Using Ctrl+Shift+V
• Typing breaks manually
Nothing works. Elementor strips or collapses every line break.
This is not a “nice to have” feature. This is basic text editing. Every website uses paragraphs and bullet points. Your Text Editor widget does not behave like a text editor.
To make matters worse, your help documentation does not even cover how to add bullet points or how to preserve pasted line breaks. I had to discover all of this through trial and error.
If I have missed something or am doing something incorrectly, please let me know — but at this point it appears that Elementor simply does not provide a reliable way to paste multi line text and format it properly.
I am asking you to fix this. Please provide one widget that:
I paid for Elementor Pro expecting professional tools. Right now, I cannot even paste a paragraph with bullet points. Please escalate this to your development team.
