[material-ui][InputBase] Text cursor jumps several lines up when inserting text fragment with new line at the end.

[Lastik]

Steps to reproduce

Steps:

1. Open this link to live example: Codesandbox
2. Type several lines of text to the InputBase text field. Your text cursor should be at the new empty line in the very end of the field.
3. Paste this text block at the end to the text field (including the empty line) several times in a row.

abc def abc def abc def

Current behavior

You should see that text cursor is not at the last empty line of the input anymore.

Expected behavior

Text cursor should still be at the last empty line of the input, because we are inserting to the end of it.

Context

This is basic usage of the component without any complex configurations or customizations.

A new similar report has been made: #45277. Let's try to close both at the same time. They look closely related although slightly different (hence I'm not closing the other one as duplicate just yet).
