Cursor ends up in wrong place after pasting multiline content.

For example pasting

#blahblah

end

def my method2

#blahblah

end

    Well, for me, the cursor ends up after the pasted code, which is what I expect.

    Is this a Unicode character problem? Is there a specific test case for this?

    I am having a problem when I make a copy of methodA

    def methodA #dostuff end

    def methodB #dostuff end

    End the resulting caret position is

    def methodA #dostuff end

    def methodA #dostuff end

    def methodB #dostuff end

    But can't seem to simulate it. I will watch out for a scenario when that happens.

    It also might be UTF-8 / broken parser state related.

    Provided i followed your instructions in the gist correctly, my cursor ended up at the end of the closing script tag.

    1) Opened redcar
    2) Pasted the ERB tag that outputs the html code
    3) Copied the script tag code
    4) Pasted with my caret after the end of the erb tag
