Copying unordered list into markdown editor causes weird behavior

[Michael-Grover]

Bug Report 🐛

Copying an unordered list from outside of the markdown editor into markdown editor causes weird behavior, including:

1. the bulleted list can not be escaped by pressing enter twice

2. The unordered list icon in the formatting toolbar is not highlighted

3. The bullets are not indented

4. Pressing the unordered list icon while highlighting a bulleted list that was pasted from an outside source results in the content of the list disappearing

Expected Behavior

If a user copies an unordered list from outside of the markdown editor and pastes it into the markdown editor, it should function the same as a list created in the markdown editor.

Works (kinda) for me?

[Michael-Grover]

It's only unordered lists copied from sources outside of the markdown editor

It's only unordered lists copied from sources outside of the markdown editor

Behaviour on copy/paste from other sources will be highly dependent on the source (pdf, html, which page, etc).

Can you please provide details so we can reproduce.

This is one example of a bulleted list that causes the issue

hm... seems to work for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

[Michael-Grover]

the bug only occurs if you copy and paste the highlighted area in this image

[Michael-Grover]

it looks like copying the line before the bulleted list makes the bug not occur

@Michael-Grover Can you assign this to me?
If I get some kind of guidance I will definitely complete this issue :D

[jolanglinais]

@Hanaffi what sort of things do you need guidance on at the moment?

@irmerk
Can you tell me which file should I work on?
What may be the cause for this issue?
I tried it and only the first item doesnt fit in the unordered list (Aka doesnt have a bullet)

[jolanglinais]

In the short term, I don't know. I think this Issue will take some investigating.

I'm cleaning up old issues I created and it looks like this one hasn't been resolved, so I'm keeping it open
