Repro with

Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)

Same with find-toolbar. Since it works with Strg+V, I would expect, that it also works via Edit => Paste.
Comment 2 Xisco Faulí 2018-05-30 15:30:59 UTC 
This is the expected behaviour!
The find&replace is a modal dialog that allows the user to continue interacting with the document, thus, it's expected the content is paste in the document when using the menu.
