Any other software?

  4. Paste the selection.

Expected behavior

The block copy should leave a block as is (including the whitespace). There is an existing default setting in the schema ("singleLine": false), but, it seems, it applies for keyboard shortcuts solely.

Actual behavior

The block copy wraps everything to a single string.
