Windows build number

10.0.19043.1826

When I copy and paste there are two unusual behaviors. When I paste into vim while it is in edit mode, It exits edit mode as if the ESC key has been pressed before the insert begins.

Steps to reproduce

open vim

press a to go into append mode.

copy and paste
echo hello world

Expected Behavior

I expected it to paste
echo hello world

Actual Behavior

It pasted
O hello world

Thanks for the report!
Are you using Linux vim within WSL? Over SSH? Are you using Windows vim?

this is really odd. It's been doing this behavior for about a week now through multiple computer resets. however, when I went to test it out to make sure it wasn't limited to just over my ssh connection it, the behavior has completely disappeared. I guess we can close this issue since I can no long reproduce it.
