Comment (by westonruter):

 One other thing, which was
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40960#comment:35 brought up] by
 @pipdig in #40960: users are accustomed to pasting HTML into the Text
 widget, and they aren't used to first having to click the Text tab. It
 would probably be a good idea to show the pointer as soon as someone
 pastes what looks to be HTML code into TinyMCE. This would be useful
 perhaps generally for the WP editor, eh @azaozz?
