Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
No SSH. When copying multiple lines (a block of code) in windows terminal and then pasting it in another file buffer the entire output is pasted as a single string.
When used the copy with click-selected feature :
a) The output is pasted but in a stair case manner
b) the initial source file (from where the data is copied) "scrolls up" and reveals clipboard/(other) data - still in a staircase manner.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the copy and paste cases on Windows 10 with the Command Prompt profile, using both click selection and Ctrl-C/Ctrl-Shift-C. Done means copied multiline content pastes with the intended line structure and does not cause the source buffer to scroll or reveal altered data.
