8. Did the cut and paste function of some browser or operating system change?

If I go the original linked article and cut and paste this doesn't happen; at least not that I can see it.

This looks correct to me:

“It’s particularly significant given the ICE tactics we’re seeing in the streets — so counter to the way policing has evolved and improved over the last several years,” she said.

In reply #4 above, by mahatmakanejeeves, the same excerpt does not.

For all I know, my text might not look correct to others.
