ngraham added a comment.


  The reason we decided to make this change was because users were complaining that \
pasting text into the Notes widget preserved formatting. See \
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396507. So clearly not everyone expected that.  
  It's the classic conflict between "the same behavior everywhere" vs "contextually \
appropriate behavior". There is no real objectively correct answer here; it's a \
judgment call. And I agree with the judgment call that pasting without formatting is \
a better default for the Notes widget.  
  If this behavior is considered objectionable and people hate it (personally I like \
it), perhaps an alternative approach would be to add a UI to toggle individual notes \
between rich text and plain text, with plain text being the default? See \
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406906
