Pasting removes empty newlines

Description

Pasting text from the attached doc removes the empty lines.

Reading other issues regarding the empty lines and the paste I found that for some people the fix was to replace <p><br></p> parts with the <p>&nbsp;</p>. I tried doing that with following paste options:

                paste: {
                  preCleanReplacements: [[new RegExp(/<p [^>]*><br><\/p>/g), '<p>&nbsp;</p>']],
                  cleanPastedHTML: true,
                },

But that didn't fix the issue for me as it seems that <p>&nbsp;</p> were removed further in a cleanup process. That also broke setting text from the backend into the editor for me, which could be something in my project.

Any possible solution for not skipping the empty lines?
