Observed

1abc
23
123

The copied line: abc
was inserted on the first line, without a leading newline.
Nothing happened on the second and third lines.
Expected behaviour
The copied line should be inserted on every line with a selection.
With a leading new line.

This is also observed without a selection.

Note, that depending on how you yank, the register may be in linewise, characterwise or block mode. To workaround this, you can use setreg() and set the register content correctly for the way to paste it. Or you may use @inkarkat's unconditionalpaste plugin (there are probably other alternatives)
