If you don't want to execute the command when you paste it, don't include the new line character when you perform the copy.

and you can use the "up arrow" to retrieve that command and edit it before you hit enter

Like catweazel said, you copied the carriage return <CR> , so it gets pasted.

Fix: either avoid copying the <CR>, or you can paste the command+<CR> into a text editor to edit it; then paste the edited stuff into a terminal.

Just to clarify, to the OP, the new line character cannot be seen. It's always at the end of a line and usually gets copied when you drag the mouse to the end of the text and into the next paragraph. You can avoid it by double-clicking a word and using ctrl-arrow on the keyboard to select text. Once you become aware of this character you'll eventually get the hang of avoiding it while using the mouse.
