When I copy and paste text I can't change the style from paragraph to heading. Why?

  Whenever I copy and paste text into a post using the ‘new posting experience’ the drop down menu that has options to change the default paragraph style into heading 1, heading 2, etc. no longer works. I click on it and the arrow changes but the menu does not drop down. In order to change the heading I either have to save the post and refresh the page or edit the HTML. Why is this happening? Can I fix it?

  that kind of sounds like a bug to me. Let’s see if we can get a mod to take a look and confirm if it’s a bug or if there’s a solution.

  I wasn’t able to duplicate this, @shantibyu . What browser are you using, and what operating system?

  Also, what are you pasting from?

  I’m using Chrome on Mac OS X Yosemite (well, now El Capitan, but I haven’t tested it yet). I’m copying and pasting text from emails (Gmail).

  Is the text already formatting in Gmail or are you pasting plain text then formatting?
