## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Open any document with rich formatting (headings, bold, lists, etc.).
    
2.  Select all content with Ctrl+A.
    
3.  Copy with Ctrl+C.
    
4.  Open a new, empty document.
    
5.  Paste with Ctrl+V.
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   Formatting is inconsistently lost after pasting — the result varies between attempts and is partly a matter of luck.
    

### What is the expected behavior?

*   All formatting from the original document should be preserved in the pasted content.
