Description
Describe the bug
When pasting a list that contains list-items that begin with bold text, the bold will continue for the rest of the list item (and next level of sub-items), even if the source data does not have bold continuing. This only happens for bold, not for italics.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to this doc
- Select all,
ctrl-c - Go to the editor, clear it,
ctrl-v
Expected behavior
List item formats will be reproduced faithfully
Screenshots
Here is what happens. Highlighted items are the ones that are not pasted properly. Source data is on the right.
