Line Paste between Files bug

[cpmcgrath]

• VSCode Version: Code 1.19.3 (7c4205b, 2018-01-25T10:36:34.867Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.16299
• Extensions: Extensions are disabled

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Do a Line Copy (Ctrl + c when no selection is made)
2. Navigate to a different file
3. Paste the Line (Ctrl + v, without any selection)

Expected behaviour:
The Copied Line is pasted above the current line, as it does if you pasted it in the origin file.

Actual behaviour:
It pastes the line at your caret position which could be in the middle of a word.

In Version 1.20.0 This seems to be fixed within a window, but if I have two windows open copy a line from one to another causes the same bug.

@cpmcgrath i am pretty sure this is not fixed. it still happens in the same file or different file. the core problem is that they are copying the \n. see #61840

To the verifier:

Please try empty selection (full line) ctrl+c, ctrl+v across VS Code windows. This should work now because we write vscode specific data to the clipboard. The same covers multiple cursors (copy with N cursors, paste with N cursors in a different window).
