Froala Editor Copy-Paste results in lists are heavily dependent on cursor position during selection making result unpredictable

[evgenyvinnik]

Expected behavior.

Copy-pasting of lists would preserve styling for the text that is being copied (that is bold remains bold, regular remains regular)

Actual behavior.

In reality same text is being

Steps to reproduce the problem.

1. Open https://froala.com/wysiwyg-editor/examples/live-code-preview/
2. Paste a list, here is an example

---

• Date Settings:
  • Date Time Culture: The selection of this field defines what region's localized date and time options are displayed for selection via the Date Format and Time Format fields.
  • Date Format: Once a selection has been made, an example of the format will be displayed below this field.
• Time Settings
  • Time Format: Once
• Number Format: This field cannot be edited manually and can only be changed by the selection made in the Date Time Culture field.

3. Now create a new entry in this list, select the whole row, make it bold
4. Now try copy-pasting the text from the list above using different techniques to select the text

• Dragging cursor from top to bottom to select rows
• Dragging cursor from top to bottom, left to right to select text and rows

5. Each time result and preservation of style would be different (see the gif recording)
