    Description

      It looks like a recent upgrade has caused a new (and annoying behaviour) with standard copy/paste of text. For example, I'm reading this thread https://developer.jboss.org/thread/260044 and decide to search for one of the error messages. So I select (use mouse/keyboard selection) some of the text in there and copy it (Ctrl + C or whatever other way). I then paste it in the search engine or any place else and I see the copied text contains additional text which links back to the original discussion. Here's what it literally contains:

      Failed to create JDBC connection: There are no running servers bound to this datasource - See more at: https://developer.jboss.org/thread/260044#sthash.NfLqzGrT.dpuf

      Notice the "See more at ...." that part gets auto appended to the copied text.

      I use copy/paste many times to even quote some text from within posts (when the text being quoted is part of some other post higher up the topic) and it does this exact same thing even then. It's annoying to keep seeing this text getting appended to the copied text.

      I understand that it tries to link back to the place from where it was copied, but the Jive editor has really passed a point where it has become more of a pain to use than being just a simple plain editor.

      Could this please be disabled?
