I encountered another issue where a user is unable to paste any text into the Classic Block without it automatically converting to the contextual modern blocks, such as the Paragraph Block. I attempted to replicate the problem on my end in various ways but was unsuccessful. However, the user can consistently replicate the issue.

The only difference between my testing and the user's is that I'm using a Mac, while the user is using a Windows machine.

P.S.: The user recently discovered that if they use the contextual menu in the editor to copy and paste, the Classic Block does not convert. However, when using keyboard shortcuts, the issue consistently occurs for them.

Steps they take (and they can see the issue, but I cannot replicate):

1. Copy text from another location (webpage or Word, etc.)
2. Create a new page/post
3. Add the Classic Block
4. Paste using keyboard shortcut

@liviopv any chance you can check and try to replicate this?
