Hmm, what you described sounds unexpected. Can you please give the steps below a quick read to make sure I am accurately understanding what you experienced?

Behavior

1. Visit a talk page

2. Copy italicized text

3. Paste the "italicized text" you copied in "Step 2." into the Reply Tool's visual mode

3½. Type something after the pasted italic text, notice that it's still italic.

4. Un-italicize newly typed text, leaving the pasted text untouched

5. Notice the appears un-italicized

6. Press the Reply button to publish the comment you've been drafting


Actual

7. ❗️Notice the comment is published and the text within it was change to be italicized


Expected

7. ✅ Notice the comment is published and the text within it remains un-italicized


Note: I have not yet been able to reproduce this. See https://w.wiki/3EzZ.

EDIT: I've updated the "Behavior" above to incorporate the edits @Pelagic shared in this comment.

Other steps are the same. I can’t reproduce it either. Works as expected when I repeat the sequence.

@Pelagic, have you seen this problem since April?

No, it hasn't re-occurred, I'll summarise this topic and close it.
