Anyone know a workaround? Any way to make GnuCash think I am typing and not pasting?
At least on X11 (not sure about Wayland) there are two independent ways of doing copy-paste.
One way is the familiar Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V combo (as in Windows).
The other way is simply to select the text, move the cursor to the point of insertion, and click the middle mouse button.
I've often found that the select+click method will work where the Ctrl- C/Ctrl-V way won't. I think this is because it's handled directly by the window manager rather than by the application.

The primary clipboard (select and middle click) did not work either. RATS!
I have not tried the other two clipboards because I can never remember how to use them
