Hi Terry and John, Testing on a vanilla instance of Leo. (Thanks Terry)
Select a string by click-drag right to left with the mouse or Shift-Arrow key. Ctrl-C to copy it with the cursor at the beginning of the string. Navigate to the end of the document. Hit enter. Ctrl-V to paste. Shift-Home to go to the beginning of the string. Ctrl-V to paste. This behavior is exactly the same in my production instance of Leo so it doesn't have anything to do with settings. It seems to be something to do with whether the cursor is at the beginning of a selection or not. When it is on a new line, the cursor always goes to the end. When it is at the head of a selection, it sticks to the front of the pasted string.
