If the copy is done with [CTRL] [C] the paste is OK.

Do you have the same issue ?

( Before GITHUB )  
Same behavior with the 3.4.1 version of JOPLIN.  
Do you have this issue too ?

I see the same behavior

there are also other inconsistencies when copying with ctrl + c vs right click copy: [inconsistent behavior when copying with context menu vs ctrl + c from RTE · Issue #12336 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/12336)

I would expect the behavior to be identical whether you're using keyboard shortcut or context menu
