@ellatrix It appears to pass all tests. Could removing this early return cause any problems? |

I think this is a valid comment. I probably thought the target would be a focusable element and always the wrapper, but turns out not. Maybe change it to:
! element.contains( event.target )To make sure we only catch paste within the container.

Btw, there's a similar early return in enter.js. I wonder if that's causing any bugs?

! element.contains( event.target )
I have confirmed that this approach also works correctly. After a bit of debugging, it appears that element.target is sometimes an inner element, rather than the focusable element itself.

enter.js. I wonder if that's causing any bugs?
I've tried debugging close to this code, and as far as I've tested, element.target is always the focusable element itself, so it doesn't seem to be causing any kind of bug.

Should we add a small e2e test so this doesn't regress in the next refactor? |

I've added an e2e test. This test is expected to fail on trunk, but for some reason it passes when I run the e2e tests. However, if I run this test manually on trunk, it fails as expected. I don't understand why it passes when I run it as an e2e test 🤔 Debugging e2e test on trunkThe test passes, but this is unexpected. Post Content: <!-- wp:paragraph -->

I think you'll need to make sure the caret is within the bold format?

Strangely, the problem does not occur inside formatted text, but only occurs when you move the caret outside the formatted text and paste:

To trigger the link behaviour, you'd need to select text within the format?

I'd for example select a letter within the text format (to make sure the test is stable and selection boundaries are within the format), then paste the link on the uncollapsed selection

I tried copying letters within the formatted text and the e2e test still passed on trunk 😅 Of course, the test is expected to fail on trunk.

But you're not pasting a link?

Ah, I see what you mean.
#63434 reports two issues:
- If the text is formatted, highlighting and adding the link via paste doesn't work
- If the copied text contains formatted text at the end, pasting the copied text outside the formatted text removes the formatting
This PR solves both problems, but the E2E test I added is for the second problem. Does this mean I should write a test for the first problem?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I didn't see the second problem, I only knew about the first problem from the PR description. Sure, if it's easier to write a PR for.

There may be slight differences with how paste is emulated that make it pass.

I updated the e2e test to paste the link into the formatted text. But for some reason, this test still passes on trunk as well 😅

The problem this PR is trying to solve seems to have been fixed as a result of #63671, which allows multiple selections on touch devices. Since #63671 is an enhancement, I don't think it can be backported to WP6.6.2 as is. If we want to backport just the paste fix to WP6.6.2, do we need to manually backport just this code to the WP6.6 branch? Pinging @hellofromtonya @vcanales for visibility |
Also noting that #63671 is from 2019. As it's before 6.6 and is an enhancement, I agree with you @t-hamano that it cannot be included in the 6.6 minor cycle. That said, if there's a specific bug introduced during the 6.6 cycle of which a smaller subset of this PR directly fixes the bug, then it could potentially and cautiously be considered. Why caution? Sometimes an enhancement indirectly fixes bugs. Though it may fix bugs, it's still introducing new functionality or feature. |

Sorry for the late reply. Just to be sure we're on the same page, I'd like to provide a brief summary.
If you have any questions, please let me know, and I'd be happy to help with any backports needed. Either way, this PR is no longer needed for the trunk branch so I will close it. |

Perhaps it could start with bolded text to reduce the complexity of the test?

This PR has a bit of a complicated history, so here's a summary of why a backport to WP 6.7 is needed:

Fixes #63434
What?
This PR fixes an issue where copying and pasting text that contains inline formatting would strip the formatting from the pasted text.
Why?
I'm not sure what the root cause is, but it seems the problem occurs when the copied text contains formatted text at the end.
Also, when pasting multiple times, the formatted text seems to be pasted correctly either the odd or even number of times.
How?
Removed the early return that was causing the problem.
We'll review what tests fail to ensure this doesn't introduce any unintended regressions.
