new copy and paste is horrible.

Hi!
Unfortunately, I still have issues with the copy paste function and editing text in general.
I frequently use the text extract tool (on Windows) and paste the text, but I copy from other documents as well, different sources of text, etc.
It's still changing the formatting, no matter the source.
But, unfortunately, while I use "Paste with format" (tough it is strange description, as it is clearly pasting the text WITOUT source formatting, but rather changing to the paste text box formatting), even if I select the text to be replaced, it's not deleting it, but add the new paste text further down .
Additionally, it would've been more intuitive to use the shourtcut ctrl+shift+v as a "paste without formatting", as grand majority of programs, apps or software is using this one as such.
On the last note - even selecting text within text box is now much more difficult than it used to be, I need to click several time for it to respond and then to actually select the text.
Please see the video of the issue I recorded:

When copying formatted text, with the latest update, not only does it not copy the format, but the color changes, even if it still appears black in the toolbar. Neither the bold letters nor the color come out; at least, the typography is the same.

Fixed! Copy and paste updates 🛠️
Hi there!
We've updated this feature: now, when you paste text, it will automatically paste without formatting seamlessly. If you ever want to keep the original style, just right-click and select the option to paste with formatting.
Thanks so much! 🚀

Diego De la Cruz Thank you so much!!!! I appreciate the new feature. Would it be possible to have the formatting also include colour? Now, the formatting changes remain, except the text colour.
Diego De la Cruz
Personal Mauve Crawdad You're welcome! Try it out and let us know if everything is working properly!!

Diego De la Cruz You are the best - thanks for listening! Yes, the formatting stays now except color (text is always black). If that gets fixed, it will all be back to normal and sooooo amazing!

Diego De la Cruz Thank you, we really appreciate you listening to us! If possible, would the paste without formatting also be able to include text colour? As Venetian Yellow Owl mentioned, the paste without format maintains black text.

Pasting text formatting along with the text is not a useful change.
Please change it back so the formatting of the Genially text box remains the same when new text is pasted into it.
Also, the text box does not automatically resize. Is this a glitch?
Some very weird text behaviour with bullet points too.
Please look into these issues.

I agree! I am finding it so difficult to create on Genially! It is making me seriously rethink the whole platform! Please change it back Genially!

I agree with this too. I want to keep the formatting on my slide as a default, not the formatting that I've copied from.

Top Atomic tangerine Ox I agree! This is how genially works best!

I totally agree. I HATE IT. I really hope it goes back to paste without formatting by default. You spend all this time perfecting your text boxes in Genially just for it to go away when you paste text in.

Venetian yellow Owl You're so right! Not to mention the text box extending strangely!

I think there might be some kind of glitch going on.
I've noticed a couple of strange text box issues recently.

Top Atomic tangerine Ox Yes I have noticed that too! The sizes don't align with the text and then contain strange spaces and become finnicky to fix! It's so frustrating!
