Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the macOS Preview mode using a document containing plain text, a heading, and a bullet list, as described in the report. First inspect how Preview handles text selection and the Edit/Copy menu state; done means formatted Preview text can be selected, copied with Command-C, and pasted elsewhere.
