Comment(by HoboPrimate):

 Text always is pasted correctly in Joyride-1607. The difference now, is
 that text is unformatted if pasted through a different technique.

 If you Paste using the same method as you copied, text will be formated
 (with the font chosen and bold/italic/etc):

 , and if you use a different Paste method, text will be unformatted:

 Any other logs you need? The ones I got from Write's log don't seem to be
 as thorough as the ones posted above.
