2. Paste it into a SWT Text or SWT Combo field.
3. Pasted content will not be displayed.

We have been waiting since a long time for this bugfix (5.5 years) and it's still in status NEW. Our client, a bank, is pushing for this issue to be fixed. Because of this bug their processes are more error prone.

Instead of waiting, your client or may be you could try to contribute to the open source and fix this issue. 
See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute.

There are also few companies providing commercial support for Eclipse, see https://marketplace.eclipse.org/category/markets/long-term-support.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
