Hi, This issue has gone 30 days without any activity. This means it is time for a check-in to make sure it is still relevant. If you are still experiencing this issue with the latest versions, you can help the project by responding to confirm the problem and by providing any updated reproduction steps.

I noticed a very related issue when I copied all blocks from a post containing the Footnotes block into a new post. All content pasted except for the content of the footnotes. Here is a video:

I'd say it deserves its own separate issue.

The same happens when pasting from Microsoft Word.

Footnotes from Word are added as

text with footnote that links to the end of the document [1]

[1] Footnote text added at the end of the document with a linkback to the reference

Expected behaviour would be that footnotes are added with the new Footnotes block.

Not sure if pasting from Word needs a separate issue, or if the solution is the same.
