I have an app that put’s a lot of text into a variable (an entire web page 
worth of HTML) that if I copy from the breakpoint inspector in the Script 
Editor and paste into Dreamweaver (for a quick preview) the text appears as 
what appears to be Chinese. My workaround is to paste that into a Text Only 
document in TextEdit, then copy THAT text from TextEdit and paste into 
Dreamweaver.

Does the Edit > Paste Unformatted still render as the previous RTF?
