Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0 x64

CMD
What issue are you seeing?
When pasting from clipboard, it sometimes also sends the message, and leaves the rest of my clipboard content AFTER, unsent. This is incredibly frustrating when I'm debugging and pasting logs or details from a website which includes paragraphs, text sections or whatever. It's something related to this.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Try from several sites to copy paste a lot of input, and it will auto-send the message.
What is the expected behavior?
It should NEVER submit a message when I paste something.
Additional information
This has been happening forever.

None of the linked items are dupes. They are all just distantly related.
What THEY are referencing is NOT the same behavior as this.
And since all linked items were closed for being duplicates of a separate issue, which is COMPLETELY unrelated to this.
A couple of questions to help me replicate this issue.
What Windows version?
What terminal emulator are you using? Windows Terminal or something else?
You are running on cmd.exe, now PowerShell correct?
Thank you
OS: Windows 11.
Terminal: Regular CMD, not powershell.
I would help you find suitable broken content, but my weekly limit will approach too fast :)
