The reason we decided to make this change was because users were complaining that pasting text into the Notes widget preserved formatting. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396507. So clearly not everyone expected that. It's the classic conflict between "the same behavior everywhere" vs "contextually appropriate behavior". There is no real objectively correct answer here; it's a judgment call. And I agree with the judgment call that pasting without formatting is a better default for the Notes widget. If this behavior is considered objectionable and people hate it (personally I like it), perhaps an alternative approach would be to add a UI to toggle individual notes between rich text and plain text, with plain text being the default?
