 Dear WordPress team,
 we are experiencing a problem after upgrading to 4.8. Copy and Paste of
 tables using the visual editor copies only the content of the first cell.

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. create a new article
 2. insert a new table by changing to text mode and pasting the following
 html code:
 {{{
 <table><tbody><tr><td>R1C1</td><td>R1C2</td></tr><tr><td>R2C1</td><td>R2C2</td></tr></tbody></table>
 }}}
 3. go back to visual mode
 4. create a copy of the table (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V)

 Expected result: two copies of the same table, and this worked reliably a
 couple of weeks ago

 Actual result: Only the content of the first cell (R1C1 in this case) is
 pasted.

 I also tried, instead of step 2, to create a table in Word (or rather
 LibreOffice) and copy it over to the editor. However, same result after
 step 4.

 Please, can anybody verify that this is a bug?

 Since it also is about losing information by copying, I feel like this
 might be related to #41026.
