A lot of the time now, but not every time, when you paste text in the middle of a line of code it'll move the insertion point to the end of the line which is really annoying cause I'll both lose my place, and start typing where the text isn't meant to go.

Have you tried it with v7.30 beta? The auto format feature better handles the selection in the new version.

Yup. I'm on the new beta, which is why I decided to post it. Cause i assumed if it's still in the beta it might not have been noticed

Can you post a few screenshots that demonstrate it?

Are you using B4A v7.3?

It doesn't seem to happen here. You can disable Tools - IDE Options - Auto Format When Pasting. It will most probably prevent it.
You can still format the code by clicking on Alt + F.
