Description
Hi
Using WordPress 5.7.8 (but also all other more recent branches) - characters are stripped through TinyMCE Copy paste from Word.
Under conditions: Bulleted list, from word, pasted, containing a dot at the end of the word.
Detailed descpription with fix here:
https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/issues/3480
https://github.com/aautio/tinymce/commit/b5f4db5a8377d2beb9ca3a1a7164587b280acbf4
Seems implemented in TinyMCE since March 31 2021, however the update of TinyMCE editor has not yet been included in current WordPress versions.
Can this still be applied?
Kind regards,

This seems to have been fixed upstream in TinyMCE 5.8. I agree it may be nice to backport the fix to TinyMCE 4.9 in WP, but that seems not trivial and may be quite hard to get right.
Also not sure if this is such a big issue as to require modifying an external library. Thinking that some form of a workaround may be a better choice. One idea may be to try pasting in the TinyMCE online demo first, then copying from there and pasting in WP.
Closing as wontfix. Please feel free to reopen with a patch.
