ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper#simple_format should not change the text in place. Now it duplicates it.
simple_format should not edit the string in place, but rather should duplicate and return a modified copy. We were running into the cumulative paragraphs error (see #1980). Also note that this was changing the string pointed to by the model, if only for the duration of the request. This is bad.
