Research direction
Start by reproducing the notecard copy-and-paste steps on Windows 11 with viewer version 26.2.0.25386466510, then compare the result with macOS behavior. Trace the notecard text input and paste handling; done means a trailing newline no longer displays an unexpected newline symbol or other special character.
