Chrome: Text Style lost when we paste content through Paste Dialog

[Satya Minnekanti]

Steps to reproduce

1. Type few paragraphs of text.
2. Applt some format(Font: Georgia, size: 36) to a paragraph
3. Copy the Paragraph.
4. Keep cursor in new paragraph, Open Paste dialog, paste content in the dialog and click OK button.

Expected result

Pasted text has all the formatting that was applied to it.

Actual result

All the formatting applied to pasted text is removed. This is working in 4.4.8

Same issue happens with Indentation, Alignment etc.

Related to #13753. We can fix it by detecting the transfer type during the paste in the paste dialog and passing it to the paste event. Or by mocking the data transfer for that kind of paste.

However, I would strongly recommend removing the paste dialogs from the toolbar. This is a feature that should be forgotten :).

If the paste dialogs are removed is there a way to paste as plain text in IE?

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

I didn't mean all dialogs. The paste as plain text one is actually useful, currently, when there's no other option to turn other pasting mode easily (although, it should be very simple to write a plugin which adds a button to toggle between normal and plain text mode).

This ticket is similar to #16454 although both talk about a little bit different things. Anyway I think it is very important to fix these two tickets at the same time to cover both cases.
