Bug Description

In eeschema (I haven't checked pcbnew but it's probably the same), you can copy and paste text from a website into the text entry box and it will retain its formatting. This shouldn't happen, because formatting isn't supported on the schematic.

I am not sure this is a wishlist wayne, As its effectively showing differently in the text edit as to what you will get in the schematic. As seen if you copy Across the yellow bar in this bug report you will see something similar to the attached screenshot, Which then generates the text as seen above it

I suppose it is a macOS specific problem.

I have not seen this on Mac or Debian with the textboxes I've tried.

@Jeff, can you recreate this? If not, I'd say it was probably fixed during rework of the dialogs

No, I can't reproduce it either. I suspect it got fixed somewhere along the line....
