Writing Tools

Resolved Issues

Fixed: Resolved an issue where the attributes in the NSAttributedString passed in writingToolsCoordinator(_:replace:in:proposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:) (or its companion async form) are stripped when an NSWritingToolsCoordinator or UIWritingToolsCoordinator has resultOptions set to [.plainText]. The attributes are no longer stripped but instead use the same attributes as were included by the delegate in the NSAttributedString returned in writingToolsCoordinator(_:requestsContextsFor:completion:) (or its companion async form).
