When running joe with -brpaste (apparently that's the default), newlines are not preserved when pasting. Disabling bracketed paste with --brpaste "solves" this problem.
The issue doesn't occur when running joe within KDE's Konsole terminal but it's reproducible within ghostty.
I'm not really sure how to debug this issue or what information might be helpful to track this down. Please let me know if I can add any further detail.
Funny you mention this https://github.com/joe-editor/joe/issues/37 because I hit this all the time on my Mac. I think it is an upstream issue and I might bother them about it. You may also be interested in the workaround for the ^I and ^M issues: https://github.com/joe-editor/joe/issues/36
Turned out to be our issue. This is fixed in main now https://github.com/joe-editor/joe
