Hi, @ntsekouras 👋. Seems like the test is pretty flaky since introduced in #40098. Do you know what might have gone wrong here?

[ntsekouras]

I'm wondering if it's related to #39807. Locally I cannot reproduce and both flaky tests seem to fail only once and then always pass.

I could see that in the migrated util there were changes like here that didn't match the previous util function and we have an clipboardDataHolder object that is being used/shared on copy/cut/paste actions and is being mutated. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but it feels weird and needs more looking.

In general a snapshot like this:

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
  <p>A undefinedundefinedundefinedblockundefinedundefinedundefined</p>
  <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

seems really weird and makes me think there is something wrong in our custom emulateClipboard function.. I haven't pinpointed the reason yet.

[kevin940726]

The undefined keyword was a bug and was fixed in #40384 (unrelated to the test itself).

As for the clipboardData question, I answered it in the original PR :).

[kevin940726]

The debug artifacts aren't that helpful since traces are not recorded for the first failure 😅. I proposed a PR in #40586 to change that.

[kevin940726]

It's probably reopened because of some outdated branch. Let's close it again.
