Android Studio paste issue

Question

Whenever I try to paste some lines of code into a file in Android Studio it acts like this:

1. Copied lines overwrite existing lines below caret position.
2. It pastes several times for a single command (I copy 7 lines and press Ctrl+V just once and it gives me 49 lines)

I don't know if this is some weird coding feature that I'm unaware of.

How can I turn this behavior off and make it work the ordinary way?

Update it's not a keyboard issue. No problem in Visual Studio!

Answer 1

In case someone else should face a similar issue in the future, mine was fixed after I marked and then unmarked Column Selection Mode (Alt+Shift+Insert).

Still strange but it resolved the issue!

Answer 2

I have the same issue I fix by clear android studio cache

File ---> Invalidate Caches/Restart

Another solution

instead using ctrl + v Use ctrl + Alt + Shift + V

Answer 3

Probable Reasons:

1. You are copying from somewhere where lines are hiding inside compact brackets
2. Your keys/keyboard is gone might generating 7 times same signal for a command (7*7 = 49)
