Research direction

Reproduce the issue by copying the code from the linked Gitea source file and pasting it into a GitHub comment box. Start by tracing the repository's clipboard and paste handling entry point; done means the pasted result contains only the plaintext code rather than mangled HTML.

Description

Originally reported in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/22622. To reproduce:

  • Open this source file, select all code lines, copy them
  • Paste into GitHub comment box
  • Pasted content is completely mangled. Paste result below. Expectation would be to only paste the plaintext parts of the clipboard data.
