Visual Studio 2019 Copy Paste Broken (Clipboard History??)

Visual Studio 2019 has suddenly started to copy/paste strange text.

I have a basic .cshtml file in a Core 3.1 web application.

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Lorem Ipsum";
}

<h1>What is Lorem Ipsum?</h1>
<p>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.</p>

Steps to reproduce strange behavior:

  • On Line 2 Hightlight ViewData
  • Control+C

enter image description here

  • Go to end of Line 2
  • Press Enter
  • Control+V

enter image description here

I get some strange junk every time. It's really annoying and I'd like to know how to make it stop doing this! Does anyone have an idea?

Update1: I've been reading about clipboard history. Shift+Control+V

You can see I have two items in the list that seem to be the source of my pasting junk. I cannot figure out how I even copied something into there. I also cannot find documentation on how to clear it.
