Formatting preservation when pasting content to rich editor

[dmgawel]

- Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

It depends on the point of view :P But it's regression so I'd say: bug.

- What is the current behavior?

Since version 0.7 of CMS pasting formatted text from Dropbox Paper / Google Docs / Word / etc. to rich text editor ends up with clear, non-formatted text.

- If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Copy formatted text (headings, bold, italics, bullet points) from any editor mentioned above to Netlify CMS editor in rich mode.

- What is the expected behavior?

Formatting supported by markdown should be preserved (skipping any custom formatting - colors, fonts, etc.).

- Please mention your CMS, node.js, and operating system version.

Last known version of CMS that kept some formatting: 0.6.0

Yeah we definitely need to up our game there. You're right about it being a regression - one of the advantages of the old ProseMirror editor was better built in support for weird paste formats - but I'm going to call this an enhancement because we switched cores from ProseMirror to Slate, and Slate doesn't come with this out of the box.

Closing as stale. Please re-open if having issues when pasting rich text (see #3727 for example)

Pasting content from Google Docs still clear formats, for example using cms-demo.netlify.com:

Rich text copied from GDoc:

This is bold and this is italic.

When pasted into NetlifyCMS in rich text editor becomes:

This is bold and this is italic.

Will this be solved soon?
