Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator
When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.
This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.

Jesse, what options do you have enabled in Preferences > Clipboard Handling? Specifically Include SVG Code — is it on?
Do you have any clipboard managers installed, as standalone apps or even browsers extensions?
