James says: "pasting into a slug sometimes but not always inserts the ☀ placeholder but not the ☂ placeholder". From the example diff it looks like that's what's going on.

Jdforrester-WMF edited projects, added VisualEditor-CopyPaste; removed VisualEditor-ContentEditable.

Jdforrester-WMF moved this task from To Triage to External and Administrivia on the VisualEditor board.

Can't reproduce, need more specific instructions.

So far, the most reliable way to reproduce the issue is like this:

In Text Edit switch to plain text and type something - copy it
In VE, on a new line type one word and in Edit Source add   to the end of the line
Paste the copied words from TextEdit - the text will be displayed on a new line pre-appended with ☀.

Can you be more precise still. What is "Text Edit"? From where to where do you copy? At what position do you paste?

Sorry - some clarifications:

type a word in TextEdit((Mac text editor) in plain text mode or in Notepad - select to copy
in VE type word(s) on a new line
switch to Edit Source - add   to the previously typed word(s) (at the end of a line)
save and switch back to VE
- position your cursor at the end of the line that has   and paste the copied word from TextEdit(Notepad)

The pasted word will be on the next line with ☀ char.
