[Evolution] Bug#789718: Copy-paste from/to bulleted list in plain-text mode deletes rest of item

[Josh Triplett]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.16.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Steps to reproduce:

Start composing a new mail.

Make sure you're in Plain Text mode.

Start a bulleted list.

Type several words (for instance, "some text more text even more text").

Cut or copy some of those words (for instance, "more text").

Paste that text into the bulleted list.

Notice that the rest of the text in that list item disappears.  The
expected behavior is to insert the text at the cursor, not to replace
the entire contents of the surrounding list item.

Also, after doing this, I observed some oddities trying to use undo,
backspace, and similar editing on the resulting item.

I'm running the Debian package of evolution 3.16.3; this didn't occur
with evolution 3.12.11.
