 Priority:  normal        |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review

 How to recreate
 1. Add new page
 2. from spreadsheet (external program like libre office) copy the contents
 of a cell that is to become the page title
 3. Paste (using ctrl-v or ctrl-shift-v) into the page title field on the
 new page

 Expected Result: text of the copied cell would become the title of the
 page.

 Actual Result: Instead of pasting the text of the cell (as it had done
 prior to 5.5) it skips away from the title title field and instead creates
 a one cell "table" block on the body of the page. Title field remains
 empty.

 I'm absolutely sure this started with 5.5. My process to create posts
 always takes the title from a spreadsheet cell.
 I have tried with all plugins disabled on TwentyTwenty.
 I posted about this issue here and someone else was able to recreate:
