I assume you are talking about the command line, or entering search.
Yes, it's intentional that the line break does not work like pressing
Enter. The idea is that you are pasting text, not a command.
You are supposed to view the text before deciding to execute it.
The thread that started it mentioned that the source of the text may
give you something else than what you expected. In practice, what often
happens is that you accidentally copy the wrong text and include the
line break when that is not intended.
