This has caught me as well, but it can be avoided by using `:set paste!` to toggle paste mode before pasting. This isn't something I need to worry about often enough but you can map that command if pasting external content is something you do often.

Most terminals support bracketed paste, and vim can automatically toggle pastemode based on the special sequences.
