  1. It’s rather sad that the only viable solution is to go back to the way WordPress used to be. I had the same problem and the WP team said that the copy/paste issue would be resolved in 5.0.1 but no word when that will be hitting.

    I think WordPress may wind up having to extend that 2 year deadline to the Classic Editor.
