Pasting text within text box changes formatting to neighboring type
I am trying to cut and paste type within an area type box. I have the type formatted with mixed attributes. But when I paste the type in its new location all formatting is lost and it assumes the format of the type next to where I paste it.

This can happen if the 'Paste text without formatting' option is toggled in Preferences > Clipboard Handling. This would cause Ai to paste text with no formatting, adapting it from the target text.

Ah! That might be my own fault. Somehow "Paste text without formatting" got checked. Chalk it up to user error.

Wes, do you have any utilities or browser extension that deal with clipboard or text?
What are the settings you have set in Preferences > Clipboard Handling section? Does disabling 'Include SVG Code' or toggling 'Paste text without formatting' change anything?
Also, you say specifically 'assumes the formatting of the neighbor' — can you please make a short video or a GIF on how it looks?
