Research direction
Reproduce the problem in Anki on Windows 11 using the listed steps, especially a clipboard-history paste with Win+V followed by a normal paste. Trace the desktop paste and formatting-handling entry point from that reproduction; done means normal paste formatting behavior remains available afterward.
