--- Comment #14 from Adrian Roselli <aroselli at gmail.com> ---
Curious if this bug will be addressed. Ideally I'd like to bring it in line with other browsers (IE, Edge, Firefox) and have it copy the unstyled text as it appears in the page source.

The presumption is that the raw text is the correct copy, and that styling it to upper case is just that -- style.

I wrote a thing on this in 2012 and my own frustrations (and testing examples): http://adrianroselli.com/2012/06/copying-content-styled-with-text.html

I also find (anecdotal, I know) that many people who choose to style text as all-caps do so with a corresponding typeface that mitigates the visual harshness or intensity. Copying text with the all-caps style and pasting it into another context, especially lacking a specified typeface, can result in a change in perceived meaning.
