This bug does seem to happen, not 100 % sure why it happens, it might be a specific iOS thing

I did some research this is definetly and iOS thing, there must be a fix, because other Apps do not do it, but I haven't figured out yet, a possibilty is listening to a couple of events and try check if the pasted value is the same as the one in the clipboard.
