As I just learned, this is expected behaviour, and the paste prompt in v9.31 got another option, "p", which pastes the clipboard as-is without replacing any control characters by whitespaces. I could not find any documentation for this feature, maybe it is worth an entry in NEWS.debian? Otherwise this bug can be closed. By the way, when I tried to "debug" this issue, I noticed that the current version tag, debian/9.31-3, is missing in the Salsa Git repo. Thanks, and sorry for the noise, - Roland
