This is a new feature in bash 5.1, "bracketed paste". The readline variable for this is "enable-bracketed-paste", and it now defaults to "on". If you'd like to turn it off, put set enable-bracketed-paste off in your ~/.inputrc file, and then restart bash(es). You might want to do more research about the feature before disabling it, though. It's more than just reverse video.
