easily repoducible here in different portable installs (clean and in my usual install):
 
  1. copy multiline text
  2. paste into selected text field. It doesnt matter if multi-line or not - but NOT in edit mode.
  3. select "Paste all text into the selected cells"
  4. the first line goes into the selected cell - a new item is made for each following line (see screenshot)
 
 
the text was pasted into the (highlighted) comments field of Item # 5 - Items 6 - 8 were created on pasting
 
 
EDIT/ guess I'm stating the obvious here - workaround is to simply make sure field is in edit mode
Can anyone confirm this BTW ?
 

Comments

Confirmed here.
 
Even if one chooses "paste all text in the selected cells", it will do the  "Paste each line into a separate item, creating items if necessary" thing.
