Every time when I paste a block of text the last newline character is skipped.  
Because of this the existing line under this text block line is placed behind the last line of the text block. This is very annoying  
This used to work whithout this problem.

There are several quirks of the text editors in Ignition that are like this. I haven't heard of this one in particular before.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend giving an upvote to the relevant feature request:
