User level: Level 1 (4 points)Why are my iPhone 16 Pro when I copy a large block text that contains many paragraphs to paste in a email when I paste it in an email. It comes along with a dark shadow which is causing me not to be able to make any corrections if I wanted to I can see the writing on the text under the dark shadow, but it's very hard to see why does this happen and how can I fix it?
and yes, I'm up-to-date with 27.0.1

It can depend on where you are copying from, very often modern OS will try to copy an "Object" along with its format attributes.
Try copying into neutral space, Notes maybe, then copy out of there. Or export the original to a text or pdf document first. Much easier on a Mac.
