Description

Describe the bug
When pasting a link from the clipboard into the Aztec editor, the content includes a "META" word. I could strip it from the content, but I wonder if others experience the same.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new aztec editor view (or use the "Basic" sample of the sample app)
  2. Paste a link, e.g. https://google.com
  3. Observe the result

Expected behavior
The link alone should be inserted

Actual behavior
The link + the word "META" (styled differently) is inserted

Screenshots

Also reproduces in the official sample app:

  • OS: 13.5, 14.0 Beta 1-6
  • Version 1.19.0

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Aztec editor or the sample app by pasting a link such as https://google.com. Start by locating the editor's paste-handling entry point; done means a pasted link inserts only the link, without the word "META", on the affected iOS versions.
