When I copy/paste text from Pages to an email in Gmail now, it strips all the formatting away. Before upgrading to Sonoma, this same process preserved things like line breaks, indentation, italics/bold font choices, etc. Now it just turns it into a block of text. Anyone know of a workaround or fix? Best I can do right now is revert to my PC and use Word to do the very same task with Gmail, and it works perfectly. It's definitely a Pages issue on Sonoma.
 
I just tested it, I copied from Pages, and the colors, bold, line breaks, and fonts were preserved perfectly when I pasted into Gmail/Safari. I tested it on Chrome too. You aren't maybe doing a Shift-Option-Cmd-V to paste (which strips all formatting) maybe from muscle memory? I use Ctrl-V to preserve formatting.
