Cut and Paste inside Lists is broken in several ways

Details

    Description

      Create a list that contains macros as some of its list items. Then try to "cut" a list item and paste it elsewhere. Depending on whether you use the arrow keys plus shift to select the item or the mouse you may cut the whole item including the macro, or you may cut the text out from inside the macro but leave the macro in place. It seems partially selecting the macro text helps cut the entire macro but selecting all of it will pull out the text from inside.

      Also, create 2 nested lists several levels deep. Cut some branch from one list and try to paste it into another list. The list structure will be lost in the paste operation.

      Alternatively, in a different case cutting a list branch and pasting it elsewhere in the same list will lose an entire node of the original selection! This was reported in the wiki but I didn't see a JIRA issue for it and I was able to repro it so I thought I'd add it to this issue.

      We have many documents with deeply nested list structures that alternate between bullets and numbers. We frequently need to copy one of these documents and then massively reformat it. This was very efficient and precise with wiki markup, but in the new editor it is downright impossible because of these bugs and many more like them in the support of lists.
