WordPress post editor <li> <ol> tag issues

[vamban]

After i updated WordPress 4.0, i am unable to apply <li> and <ol> tags in bulk for my post content instead i have to apply manually for every line.

Also there is black space in post editor visual mode in the top of the editor. And also when i edit media properties, the pencil icon not properly visible when we editing dark coloured image properties. In the earlier version the pencil icon seems good, but not in WordPress 4.0

Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Fourteen or Twenty Thirteen) activated?

It happens only after i update wordpress 4.0 version with unchanged plugins list, the same set of plugins are used when i am using v3.9.2. But at that time there is no such issues exist.

Could you add screenshots and provide the steps to reproduce these issues on a clean install?

Confirmed. Moving to 4.0.1 for investigation.

To reproduce: Paste this into the visual editor:

one
two
three

Select the lines and then hit the Bulleted List or Numbered List button on the toolbar.

Note that prior to 4.0 this would turn those three lines into three list items. In 4.0 it turns the three lines into one list item with line breaks.

Edit:

There's basically three scenarios in play here:

1. Writing text in the Visual editor
2. Writing text in the Text editor
3. Pasting text in from elsewhere

In my testing, this is what I'm seeing for the ability to bulk-bullet text:

Scenario	3.9.2	4.0.0
Writing text in Visual editor	Works	Works
Writing text in Text editor (then switching to Visual)	Works	Doesn't Work
Pasting text in from elsewhere	Doesn't work	Doesn't work

The "writing text in Text mode, switching to Visual" scenario seems to be reproduceable regression.

Tested all three scenarios and confirmed. This is a duplicate of #29434, which was closed last week. The only change in behavior is the 2nd (writing text in Text editor and switching to Visual). +1 for returning to 3.9 behavior.

Use case:

I commonly paste Word or Pages documents into Text Mode to clear formatting and then toggle to Visual to add bullets and headings.

The expected output of wrapping each line individually in list items has changed.
