It would be amazing if we can fix this. I'll mention this issue in the 1.0 milestone issue.

@nipunasudha do you have an idea of how to implement what you suggest?

I'm not familiar with how the package currently handles it. But I think keeping two clipboards would solve this.

• First one is the system clipboard which only keeps the plain text version.
• The secondary one in the memory, keeping both plain & rich versions.

Then when a user paste the text back to the editor, we can check if the system clipboard matches the cached plain version. This is to make sure what the user is trying to paste is the same thing he copied. If so, we can insert the respective styled version into the document 😄

Just an idea but I think it'll be a good solution until flutter fixes that issue.
