   I had this problem too. The "language support for java" extension was causing it. When I disabled it, no more drunken copy/paste. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.java

   This seems to be caused by the redhat.java extension which overrides the paste implementation here. I have opened an issue directly against the extension.

   Possible workarounds: configure "java.actionsOnPaste.organizeImports": false or disable/uninstall the redhat.java extension.
