Possibly a bug in Edge, so it's not clear anything can be done about it, but TOhtml content generated with default options will not paste properly in Edge. All the linebreaks are removed.

As a workaround, you can "let g:html_no_pre=1" and the paste is fine.

    This is overcome by events. It was written back before Edge became a Chromium-based browser. Testing shows that paste works fine in Edge now. Newlines are preserved and all text is pasted. In Google Docs, the pasted text even has formatting.
    Tested on docs.google.com and https://www.editpad.org/tool/online-rich-text-editor.

    Settings were entirely default:
    <meta name="settings" content="use_css,no_foldcolumn,prevent_copy=,use_input_for_pc=none">

    Microsoft Edge
    Version 116.0.1938.69 (Official build) (64-bit)
