Well, let's move to GMail web app...

> Could you provide a step-by-step recipe, starting from "emacs -Q"?

Steps to reproduce (I am now using GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 29,
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0) of
2020-11-21), commit 789ee3e1d5 from master:

1. M-x find-file /usr/lib/python3.7/copy.py RET

2. C-x C-w ~/test.py RET

3. C-v C-v C-u 15 C-n <= scroll two pages and reach an blank line where
inserting a new class definition makes sense

4. M-x python-skeleton-class

5. C-M-S-v

6. C-M-S-v

7. Test <= I wrote this in the minibuffer where I was prompted since step 4
for a class name as required by python-skeleton-class

8. Press RET

The diff of the resulting file attached. As you can see it's not the
expected result of python-skeleton-class.
