James, thanks for this report.
better documentation (45264 amongst others). The user interface through a major refactor and refresh now has access to a much more consistent set of 'widgets' for the main interface and for items like the link inspector as well as the to-come category, template and references dialogs which are being designed.
Yay more consistency! Is it possible to look at the prototype designs for those dialogs?
Additionally, the dependency on a key library called 'rangy' was refactored, and the broken copy-and-paste support between VisualEditor instances was removed, in anticipation of better copy-and-paste to work with non-VisualEditor surfaces as well.
Thank you so much for prioritizing this; broken copy-and-paste between applications or surfaces maddens me disproportionately so I also disproportionately appreciate relevant fixes. :-)
