Please refrain from insulting others by declaring someone is "playing games"
and "tries to win", without even carefully reading what has been said (let
alone understand):

Secondly, what users like to call "programmer's logic" is always another user's
logic, which happens to not fit you, but that was adopted by programmer as an
implementation specification. This reflects multitude of ways anything may be
used, and there's no way to please everyone. This is what users refuse to
accept when they insist that their "logic" (in this context it's the way they
use something) is universal. Yes, programmer's choice of specification may be
bad in the sense that it doesn't reflects the majority's use case, but that
needs proving, and it's not easy (in bug reports, you always see the PoV of
those who disagree with the status quo, and those who agree are Just happily
use it and don't visit bug reports).

In this case, my "logic" (as user who filed the report, also being a developer)
differed from the "logic" adopted by the feature author, who considered
multiselection usecase (which I didn't), but didn't consider normalizing pasted
chunks of text that had bad case in the source (where author's presumptions
doesn't hold).

Now that the feature started to be used in a scenario not meant initially, this
became more important.
