Some of my users identified this issue and I was able to reproduce it on my forum as well as here.
Specifically what is happening is the editor is changing the formatting of the pasted text, either by adding new lines where there were none, or removing them.
What it should look like:
“Hello. My name is David, and I’m a quinquagenerian.”
Game industry veteran David Mullich kicked off a panel discussion on game industry ageism today at the 2015 Game Developers Conference like he was introducing himself at a group therapy session.
It was a light-hearted way to address an insidious problem.
It turns out like this:
“Hello. My name is David, and I’m a quinquagenerian.”

One of my users had to paste the text into a text editor then into the edit box to get the intended formatting.
I honestly don’t know if this is a Firefox bug or a Discourse bug, but other text inputs on Firefox don’t display this issue in my testing.
If I copy and paste the properly formatted text from this post back into here, I get this:

This is from the first improperly formatted result from before:

Notice the slight difference in where it inserted the new lines?
Also noticed that sometimes when pasting in some text on Firefox, the preview doesn’t reflect the new text until I make another change.
