Description

if there's already a macvim opened, and when I use "Cmd+V" to paste a text into it, another macvim icon will jump into dock and keep jumping for a few minutes, eventually it is silent.
if i use "p"(the vi cmd) to paste the text, everything looks good.
this problem annoys me for quite a long time and sometime I'm thinking to use other text tool to replace macvim.
I'm using 8.1.280, but I tried several other versions they are same.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in an already-open MacVim instance, comparing Cmd+V with the vi p command across the reported MacVim versions. Done means pasting with Cmd+V no longer causes another MacVim icon to appear or repeatedly jump in the Dock.
