docs.google.com is very confused by lists

1.  Open a new doc
2.  Type "-test" and hit return
3.  Copy "-test" and paste it on the next line (notice how it has indented this line as though it were a list
3.  Try and paste it above the first "-test".

It seems if your copy buffer has a newline in it, the paste gets *very* confused, and scrolls the document down to the bottom and doesn't actually paste.

Wow.  Turns out you don't actually need to do anything resembling a list.  Just type "test" and then copy and paste it a bunch.  Eventually docs.google starts acting very strange.

You say "lists" but you don't mention in your steps to reproduce where you are creating lists.

I can't reproduce this.  Are you copying just "-test" or "-test\n"?  If I copy "-test" plus the line break and then paste it on the second line I get strange behavior, but not what you describe.  When I:

Create a new document
Type "foo"
Press return
Select All
Copy
Paste on the second line

Everything disappears, including the caret.  Can't reproduce in other editors.

Google Docs no longer uses native editing API so we can't reproduce this bug anymore.
