I select a text in block mode (pressing ALT+drag).
Pasting normal works as expected.
If I use Shift+Ctrl+V after i copied some other stuff. The paste works like a normal paste, each line is inserted as a seperate line and not inserted in the existing text blocks.

We assume you have this code:
fooAAAfoo
fooBBBfoo
You use Alt+Drag and select AAA and BBB. You have CCC and DDD in the clipboard, one string on each line. You expect Ctrl+Shift+V to create this:
fooCCCfoo
fooDDDfoo
As you have discovered, this does not happen with VA X. In fact, it does not happen with the IDE, whether or not you use its clipboard ring.
We do not believe we advertise this as a feature of our "paste menu." We certainly do not intend to do so. Hence, we take your post as a feature request. |

No, what you described is interesting, but i don't think that's what Martin meant.
Regardless of what is in clipboard now, Ctrl+Shift+V doesn't preserve "columnness" of ALT-selected text.
So, you selected block:
AAA
BBB
now, your cursor is somewhere in the middle of first line:
111111111111111111111111111111111
222222222222222222222222222222222
Ctrl+V:
1111111111AAA11111111111111111111111
2222222222BBB22222222222222222222222
Ctrl+Shift+V:
11111111111AAA
BBB
1111111111111111111111
222222222222222222222222222222222
Note that it inserted text "AAA\\nBBB", while Ctrl+V did something very useful, but not desribeable as single paste operation...
It never worked as far as i know. |

this one slipped through the net.
since there seems to have been no case for it, it has not been addressed, which is why it still does not work. i have just added a case for it, so hopefully it will be looked at at some point by the developers.
