Steps to reproduce

  • Open Windows terminal with a Powershell tab
  • Copy a function containing an if statement
  • Paste the copied code with mouse right click (ctrl+v does not produce this behaviour)

Expected behavior

Copied function should be pasted with the same behaviour as ctrl+v.
i.e. Pasted code should not be interpreted until the enter key is pressed, with the same formatting as the source it was copied from.

Actual behavior

  • When pasting with right-click of the mouse, extra blank lines are generated between code and at the end of the copied text.
  • An error message is populate once per if statement. The error message reads:
Oops, something went wrong.  Please report this bug with the details below.
