The format of the cell usually changes to that of the material being posted.  If
you use the paste icon (NOT paste-special), you can click on the arrow to the
right of the icon and select a desired format from the drop-down list- it looks
as though you want the selection "unformatted text".  That works for pasting
direct into the cell.

The edit box works differently depending, as far as I can tell, on how you copy,
i.e whether you copy the cell or select and copy material from the cell.  As for
why, you probably need to ask the developers.  Regards.  Terry.
