Research direction

Start by opening the MDN InputEvent.data page and reproducing the reported copy-and-paste behavior in Edge 120. Then inspect the api.InputEvent.data report context to determine whether the problem belongs in browser compatibility data or the page demo. Done means the reported behavior is verified and the relevant issue is corrected or clearly documented.
