Are you sure you only had text selected, and not the whole of the enclosed
paragraph?
The EW document model doesn't support multiple paragraphs in a cell, so if
you try to paste in a whole paragraph, it will replace the paragraph that
is there.
You might argue that isn't a desirable behaviour, but doing otherwise would
be inconsistent.
My suggestion of drag selecting was to ensure that you copied a text
selection, not a paragraph.
