Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.
Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.

I don' t agree with seeing this as a feature, i would like to see the old copy paste technique back as the stuff we have now is messy and not accesible for everyone.
I don't want to not be able to paste stuff in. How can I do § now or even commands like /tellraw @a {"rawtext":[{"text":"§l§2Hi world§r§l§r"}]} DO YOU THINK I CAN REMEMBER THAT!? If the intended they need to revert it. Don't fix what ant broke. AND IT WAS NOT BROKE! NOW IT IS!
