Ligatures and copy/paste
Unfortunately, if you activate the ligatures in a text field and copy this text into another text field, the ligatures are deactivated. Some special formatting of the letters is lost in the process.

In an effort to improve communications between you and the After Effects team, we are moving this feedback forum to the After Effects page on the Adobe Support Community. As requested, bugs and feature requests will be able to live separately in that forum. If you have an item here that did not make the migration, please bring it over to our new home.
See you soon on the Adobe Support Forum!

Yes!
I happened across the bit of code responsible for that and wondered what it was doing. My guess is that the code pre-dated when ligatures were first enabled in AE and missed getting removed/updated.
Thank you for reporting this, I just filed a bug (team: DVAAE-4223987).
