Summary0016348: Paste without formatting for Scribus
DescriptionWe have done a paste without formatting while pasting content from clipboard. Please find the code below. If useful this can be incorporated in Scribus. Only issue is that Redo is not proper

Updated the source code. Previous one caused crashing of Scribus when we paste text to a selection with multiple paragraph
