Bug? Paste in IDE changes case of some words (keywords)

When you paste some text e.g. "This is for the test", it is changed to "This Is For the test"

It uppercased the I from Is and the F from for. I suspect it has something to do with them being keywords.

This is especially hurtful when you want to paste some javascript in a $""$ structure. It is not something you notice immidiately, but it can be a long search to find out why the script does not run.

Weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time. Maybe just when the IDE is in a 'check the code cycle'?

If it's only a single line paste, the adding a ' to make it a comment will work, you can change it as you want afterwards. Yes, the IDE is parsing the pasted text.

I haven't tried it, but I suspect that if you paste it into the middle of $""$ it will be OK too.

I got this problem, but can't reproduce it

anyway I take this opportunity to fix a small problem with the string literals:
With this code:
B4X: 
Private Sub GetMapHtml(Address As String) As String
    Dim Key As String = "123456789"
    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim s As String
    s = $"<!DOCTYPE html>
        <head>
            <style Type='text/css'>
                html, body
                {
                padding:0px;
                margin:0px;
                width: 100%;
                height: 100%;
                overflow-x:hidden;
                overflow-y:hidden;
                }
            </style>
        </head>
      
        <body>
            <div>
                <iframe
                width="100%"
                height="100%"
                style="padding:0px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute;"
                src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?q=${su.EncodeUrl(Address.Replace(" ", "+"), "UTF8")}&key=${Key}"
                allowfullscreen></iframe>
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
    "$
End Sub
The coloring is wrong:


Edit: the forum displays it correctly though
