Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the paste in Warp using joe with the provided CocoaPods example, then compare it with macOS Terminal or iTerm2; investigate the paste-handling entry point and existing tests. Done means multiline clipboard text retains its newlines in Warp as it does in the comparison terminals.

Describe the bug
I copied several lines of podfile text from a Cocoapods webpage, and CMD-V pasted it into my joe(1) editor running in Warp.
It was pasted as a single line - been using joe for decades on linux and mac with multiple terminals, never seen this behavior.
Performing the same paste into iTerm2 and macOS Terminal instances running joe(1) kept the newlines.
To Reproduce
- $brew install joe
- $joe test.txt
- Copy a few lines of code sample from https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/the-podfile
- Paste into joe editor window - will be pasted as a single line of text, ignoring newlines
- Repeat using joe in MacOS terminal or iTerm2 - should be pasted as multiple lines as copied
Expected behaviour
Expect to see multiline text when pasted, but see single line instead
Screenshots
In this screenshot, the same text has been pasted from a webpage into the joe editor running in Warp (green) and iTerm2 (black).
The Warp Terminal removes the newlines, iTerm2 and Terminal do not.
