No, when you paste you must Paste Special -> Unformatted text to allow the cell format to assert. The default Paste intentionally picks up formatting (if any) from the clipboard held item, and ignores formatting applied to the sheet/cell.

Although I may have no choice but to (begrudgingly) accept your response, it still doesn't make any sense that copying text from a text editor would produce this action. After all, it is plain ASCII text without any formatting. Replacing the formatting when pasting makes it necessary to perform additional steps to make that cell conform with the rest of the page. These additional steps don't really make sense. It's bad enough that pasting is plagued by the requirement to address the dreaded "Import Options" dialog that should have been eliminated when it was reported as Bug 65872 over 5 years ago. Pasting should be as simple as pasting.
