Description
When I try to copy a cell value and paste it in a region selected. Then the cell value is copied only in first cell.
The behavior is inconsistent with the Microsoft spreadsheet's most common copy+paste behavior where we try to bulk update multiple cells.
Steps to reproduce
Set a cell value "ABC" in any one cell.
Copy the cell using CTRL+C
Select a region in spreadsheet where selection highlights multiple cells.
Paste the cell value using CTRL+V
Expected: All cells which are highlighted in selection should have the new value
Actual: Only first cell from the selected region is getting the new value.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V steps described in the issue with a single source cell and a multi-cell selection. Trace the spreadsheet's copy-and-paste handling and add coverage for the selected region; done means the value appears in every highlighted cell rather than only the first.
