Description
## Context
#3781
When we tried to re-create the application for dental on GC Forms to identify how close the product is to supporting a similar type of form, we identified usability issues that could be addressed.
## Description
When copying and pasting from the website, it is difficult to get the spacing correct for headers. e.g.:
image.png
The spacing between "Terms of Use... and Changes to these..." headings are different in the editor; though they appear the same on the test screen.
## Screenshots

Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the rich text editor and reproducing the copy-paste behavior with the headings shown in the screenshot. Done means pasted headings preserve their spacing consistently in the editor and on the test screen.
