Font and Style Control is incomplete and spastic--cannot fix pastes

I paste text from someplace else. Instead of just getting the text, I get all of the formatting from that other place. If the font there was inappropriate or too large, you cannot fix it without just deleting everything and manually reentering it all.

Using the standard undo/redo of my browser also behaves spastically. It doesn't do what is expected. E.g. performing an underline will the the highlighted text. Then performing an undo underline deletes everything that you have entered up to that point!

We have the ability to insert media here. Why is it so impossible to just bold or underscore text? Priorities seem a bit out of whack.

    Not to mention basic testing...

    Try just pasting the text, without the formatting. That is a standard option when you paste.

    I wasn't aware that there was a "Paste Special" function in order to get around this. Thanks!

    However, in any event, the original problems from my initial posting is still a big issue. Once something is in the text, it still cannot be modified style wise. It can only be deleted and then manually re-entered. And the bizarre behavior during undos and redos still exists.
