> Google Docs uses its own layouting system for its editor---which means, it doesn’t use browser’s contenteditable API Ah!, so that's the reason why copy-paste is badly broken in google docs (and jupyter notebooks as well)? Now I understand the reason. It's because they didn't reimplement it again. I can copy-paste between all my windows and firefox tabs, except google docs and jupyter notebooks. This is because the selection that they show it's not an actual text selection that the system understands, but just a hand-drawn color rectangle around the text. It's a fake selection, of sorts!
