@mkitzan commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2019):

From when I hexdump-ed a repro of this, it looks like on multi-line copy-pastes, instead of inserting a newline at the separation between lines it just adds spaces until the next line begins (as it appears on the screen). Kind of makes sense since the selection is highlighting spaces instead of jumping to the newline.
Edit: duplicate issue to #3367

Here's the hexdump of text from the top of a new CMD terminal:
cmd-prompt

Say, are you copying with right-click or with the ctrl+c or ctrl+shift+c?

@DHowett-MSFT it behaves like that with ctrl+c or ctrl+shift+c, but it works fine with right click. What.

@mkitzan, thanks for the tip. I wrote small Python script with Terminal in order to generate some long, repetitive-kind of text, I faced the wrapping bug when I copied text with ctrl+c, but right click saved the day.
