This is my first github bug report so please excuse me for bad formatting.
I use The quill editor for some notes storage in my app. Some of my users want to copy and paste from a Word document or other resource that they already had notes in. However, pasting on android loses some formatting (it's ok though, it looks mostly ok) while pasting on iphone leaves an invisible wall of text where some symbols used for bullets are still visible.
I'm using the focus node and auto focus to drop the keyboard on certain events, but other than that, it's pretty basic.
i have tried using extensions and the native_bridge packages but neither changed anything. I saw many adjacent issues but none just talking about this.
Expected results
Expect pasting text from external resources (word, google doc, etc) to be visible (and preferably formatted reasonably similar).
Actual results
There is no visible text on paste.
Additional Context
This is copy and paste from a word document with no extra functionality other than bullets, bold, italicize and maybe an emoji.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I added the text color button into the tool bar and so far what I'm seeing is that on iOS only, when I copy and paste in text from Word, it automatically applies a FF000000 color that is clear.
Digging into this a little more, it seems that the way editors handle copying is interesting.
Both Word and Google docs, in their editor apps, did this (whether in print preview or not). However, if I exported as PDF opened the PDF and copy/pasted from there it copied over just fine.
I'm not an expert with this kind of thing, but am looking into some information about what goes to the clipboard from within editor apps.
