There a many different ways to copy and paste.  You can use the mouse,
copy from normal mode, copy from visual mode, copy from command line
mode.  I also have no idea whether you copied into or pasted from a
register.

In order to be able to reproduce what happened and give some help, I
would need to know exactly what you did.  A minimal set of steps to see
the same behavior is very helpful.
