Maybe it’s browser-specific? Pasting numbers works in the Phone-app (keypad) just fine.

#3

I suppose that it’s a keyboard-related thing though - that dialer app is not actually using a keyboard for paste, but accesses the clipboard and works correctly at that

#4

You’re actually right, this is related to the browser! I just tried and paste worked correctly in Unit Converter app

#5

This is still present in 4.4, one difference is that no digits are entered. (Tested with PayPal and Drobox 2FA sign-in pages).

Thanks for reporting this, and for checking it on the latest release. I’ve created an internal bug report about it and tagged it as “tracked”.
