Copy & Backspacing Text in Mission Editor Crashed my DCS to DT

Hi there folks, hope all is well 

This is a weird one & something that has never happened to me before.

In ME in Triggers Action box I highlight a small portion of some text that's in that box to copy & paste to another separate message box that will eventually be displayed to Players top right screen within the mission, just as normal.

After I copied the text what I wanted, I then went to remove it by using backspace & DCS immediately crashed to DT. 

I tried a few more times & got the same result. So I then ran a Repair & this time I slowly tapped on the backspace key & it was removing the text but then got to a certain point & again crashed to DT. I tried again & no go.

This is very strange & a concern as I can't progress with my mission as the on screen text plays a vital role in the sortie.

Apologies if this has been already reported previously.

Logs attached & I use no Mods.

Several hours later... tried again without copying text first, just using backspace to remove the text, DCS still crashes to DT.

My good friend Gierasimov discovered a bunch of spaces at the end of text & also a hidden character amongst the text which was causing the issue. Mission now repaired & re run shown DCS did not crash. 

Thanks Gierasimov! 👌🙂
