 == Reproduction Report

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 7.0-alpha-61215-src
 - PHP: 8.2.29
 - Server: nginx/1.29.4
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.8 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.29)
 - Browser: Chrome 144.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.4
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.1

 === Steps taken
 1. Copy the entire document provided by the reporter from MS Word.
 2. Paste it in a post.
 3. Observe the word in the paragraph pointed out by the reporter.
 4. ❌ Bug is not occurring

 === Expected behavior
 - The entire text was pasted as is with no loss of character.

 === Additional Notes
 - You might notice that in the screencast below word count seems to have
 reduced after pasting. That's not the case; it's just a weird difference
 in what MS Word considers as words versus what WordPress counts as words.
 - For MS Word, the list numbers and "&" count as words. While that's not
 the case for WordPress.
 - While I do believe this issue is fixed in recent versions of WP, I will
 be removing the `needs-testing` keyword and adding `reporter-feedback` in
 case the issue is still present.
