I think I know what you mean... pasting columnar selections, will paste 
it back the same way producing the merge you are talking about. This is 
on purpose and by design however. If you really need the extra space 
you will need to press enter a bit yourself beforehand. I suppose it 
could be useful in some circumstances with a paste that forced TM to 
ignore that it is in columnar mode.
