Description John Mark Vandenberg 2013-07-26 14:36:37 UTC 
Steps to reproduce
1. Create a page with a linefeed
2. Edit it in VE
3. Copy the block containing the ↵
4. In a new VE window, paste

Expected results:
VE smartly removes the ↵

Actual results:
The ↵ is pasted into the second VE as a literal character

Comment 4 Jared Zimmerman (WMF) 2013-09-11 18:19:39 UTC 
Just want to capture that in many cases the user could want the ↵ to mean "break this line and create a new line"

I don't think this is 100% of the time, but enough that we should think about it.
