Selecting all the text manually won't copy (or paste the break). However, selecting it using Ctrl+A will copy the break, but it won't be in the same position.

You can copy the break, if you copy both columns. But I don't know if this is a bug or the regular behaviour.

I think user expectation would be to copy it, when it is clearly selected, so let's set to NEW.
