Since few weeks copying and pasting table cell (Ctrl+C; Ctrl+V) in VE has been broken.
On paste it inserts new table with duplicated cells in target cell.
(See animated sequence; using ScreenToGif, if someone need it)
Using recent Chrome. Same issue on enwiki and lvwiki.
I am surprised it has not been noticed and could not find issue in phabricator. I think it is a different issue from T214624.
This is incredibly annoying; even Wikipedians most critical about VE have always admitted that it is a good way to work with tables. Now not even that works anymore, it's so frustrating! At the moment apparently I have no way to copy and paste table columns.
To add some more details: the problem is the same whether I just select one table cell and want to insert a couple of cells (usually I would select the first cell of a column and insert the whole new column, which worked fine) or whether I select the whole column from the start ("overwriting" it with pasting the new column). It always ends up as a nested table. However, the result seems to be further broken, because when I try to reset the chaos by using Ctrl+Z, the nested table remains the same and results not editable. Something is very, very wrong.
A few more notes:
Per the merged task, this works correctly in Edge, so maybe it's a browser-specific problem.
