Vista - Right-click on PS RC2 window automatically runs whatever is on clipboard

When I copy code, and then only right-click on a Powershell RC2 window
with the intent of pasting (even thought to paste correctly I should
click on the titlebar of the window and choose Edit | Paste), the code
that had been copied to the clipboard is automatically pasted, and
runs.

I kind of like this. But does that sound like expected behaviour?

Yeah, this is expected behaviour, however: this is a function of the
console window host, not powershell. It can't distinguish between
pasted input and manually typed input. The only reason it is
automatically executed is because you've copied a trailing CRLF also.
If you carefully copy only the text, it will not run until you hit
<enter> manually.

Yes. And this behavior can be toggled by right-clicking the powershell
task item or opening its system menu in the top-left corner, choosing
Properties, and enabling or disabling the Quick Edit feature. You can
set many other things there as well.
