Pasting deletes text

[ygoe]

Issue Type: Bug

Prerequisites: Enable format on paste and on type for JavaScript files.

1. In a JavaScript file, enter: match(/x/);
2. Copy the "x" with Ctrl+C
3. After the "x", paste with Ctrl+V

The entire regular expression now disappears. Also happens with much longer lines and regexps. A similar issue also exists in JavaScript sections of .cshtml files in Visual Studio 2022, where pasting also deletes parts of the code. Is there a pattern behind that? Microsoft products now eating my code. All of them!

Please try upgrading your workspace to use typescript@next by installing this extension. Does that fix the issue?

[ygoe]

No, still happens.

[mjbvz]

Duplicate of microsoft/TypeScript#50076

Should be fixed with more recent TS nightly builds

[freaker2k7]

@mjbvz - Still happens on latest version on MAC 😭

Totally kills my focus !!!

Fixed in VSCode 1.71.0
