Research direction

Start by reproducing the paste behavior in the livechat widget with Chrome on Windows, then inspect how the pasted value is displayed as an HTML entity. Compare the pasted text with the rendered input and determine whether the behavior is unintended or an intentional feature. Done means pasted text is preserved as entered, or the supported way to disable the behavior is documented.
