Description
### Expected
When the tag editor is focused and contains some text, pasting new text from the clipboard should append the pasted text to existing text.
### Observed
Instead of being appended, the text replaces the existing one:

### Reproduced
1. Create a new note
2. Place `text1` into the clipboard (just a single word for simplicity)
3. Start entering `text2` in tag editor, and then paste `text1` ~> this action will replace `text2` with `text1`, instead of appending: `text2text1`
### Where did you see the bug

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior in the tag editor using the listed steps: enter text2, then paste text1. Locate the tag editor entry point and trace how paste handles the focused text; done means the existing text remains and the pasted text is appended, as in text2text1.
