What kind of file are you editing? That works fine for me in all
of:
- HTML (within a <style> element)
- PHP (within a <style> element)
- CSS (anywhere)

What do you mean by "pasting from * register"? It didn't behave any
differently for me regardless of what register I used.

Is the source content properly indented? ]p won't fix the indentation,
except to modify it the same way the first line needs to be modified to
be properly indented in context.

So, e.g., if you paste (with ]p), the following:

#blah {
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* too much indent */
}

After:
#something {
width: 100%;
}

You'll end up with:
#something {
width: 100%;
}
#blah {
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* (still) too much indent */
}

Similarly, pasting:

#blah { /* already indented */
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* too much indent */
}

After:

#something {
width: 100%;
}

Yields:

#something {
width: 100%;
}
#blah {
width: 100%;
height: 100%; /* (still) too much indent */
}
