If I copy the first paragraph of the webpage (for example), and paste it into
TextEdit all formatting is lost, such as the bold keyword. This is not a problem
with TextEdit as text copied from Safari retains formatting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacoluthon
2. Select first paragraph
3. Edit -> Copy
4. Go into TextEdit
5. Edit -> Paste

Actual Results:  
the text pasted without formatting

Expected Results:  
the text should have been formatted
