This is a new feature in bash 5.1, "bracketed paste".  The readline
variable for this is "enable-bracketed-paste", and it now defaults
to "on".  If you'd like to turn it off, put

set enable-bracketed-paste off

in your ~/.inputrc file, and then restart bash(es).

You might want to do more research about the feature before disabling
it, though.  It's more than just reverse video.
