Copy/paste gore and double-height cursor issue when adding text to Notebooks

[simfur-ritwed]

I copy+pasted a block of text from a Google Doc into a Notebook. There was a formatting issue (I had left an indent on one paragraph), but when I went to remove that paragraph, the cursor was double height and only a weird cross-section of the text that ought to have been highlighted, was. The entire text did delete with one keystroke, so I'm pretty sure this is just a cursor issue.

System: Chrome on MacBook Pro.

@simfur-ritwed Can you link me to the exact text so I can reproduce this?

This happens when you copy a paragraph from another text source (Gdocs in this case) with a tab indent at the beginning of the paragraph, like this:

into Markdown/Notebook text entry field like this:

The indent doesn't actually show up here, but it results in both a double-height cursor (which you can't see in the screenshot) and the weird highlighting pattern that results.

This has been happening to me lately when using code block syntax in chats--same double height cursor, erratic highlighting representation, inability to place cursor on the correct line.
