Quick summary

When we cut multiple paragraphs of text and then go to paste it, we are experiencing that only the first paragraph pastes within the WordPress editor. Adding that if we cut and paste in to another program then all paragraphs are pasted.

Using the undo arrow within the WordPress editor then either fails to restore the missing paragraphs (if the Gutenberg plugin is _de_activated), or causes the editor to fail with a "The editor has encountered an unexpected error." Error text copied below:

Error: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node.

Noting that in either case if we do not save the changes and refresh the editor then the missing text is then restored.

Steps to reproduce

Considerations
The issue has been observed on self-hosted sites and on Atomic with all plugins deactivated except for Jetpack (which was disconnected) and Akismet. I could not reproduce on a simple site. The behavior is sometimes inconsistent if you use keyboard shortcuts to cut & paste or have spotlight enabled, so focus on using right(command) click and having spotlight disabled.

A video recording of the issue:
https://www.loom.com/share/fdaef4278f6a4c969ca03fb328ede169?sid=18aa5b05-283a-47bd-9bd5-7d9adc7def0c

  1. On an Atomic or self-hosted site open the post or page editor
  2. Highlight the text across at least two blocks - testing was performed with two paragraph blocks
  3. Right-click and cut the text
  4. Right-click and paste the text
  5. Observe that only the first paragraph block was pasted back in to the editor, the second and subsequent blocks are now missing.
  6. Using the undo/back arrow within the editor either causes an unexpected error if Gutenberg is active, or simply fails to restore the missing text if Gutenberg is not activated.

What you expected to happen

Pasting text that has been cut should result in all text being restored.

What actually happened

Cutting and then pasting text only returns the first paragraph, subsequent paragraphs are not pasted.

Impact

All

Available workarounds?

Yes, mentioned above:

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

Atomic, Self-hosted

Noting that I have escalated this to the Gutenberg github repo after replicating with 6.3: WordPress/gutenberg#53774 We're looking at doing a 6.3.1 soon enough and hopefully a fix can be included there.

Just documenting that this affects CUT only. COPY is working fine.

CleanShot.2023-08-17.at.17.16.57.mp4

And it only happens when using the mouse. Cmmd/Ctrl + X works fine.
