Copying text from a wikipage into google docs in Chrome breaks heading format and shows edit links
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue:

What happens?:

  • The H2 headings are converted into 22.5px plain text
  • The section-edit links are pasted directly

What should have happened instead?:

  • The headings are formatted as proper "headings" (to allow for copy-and-pasting back into VE later)
  • The [edit] and [edit source] links are not pasted at all

The headings are <h2> in the clipboard. I'm not sure there's much more we can do to convince GDocs it should treat them as headings. They have probably decided it's better to preserve appearance than semantics.
