Description
When pasting links into the post editor they are now auto-linked making oEmbeding content require two extra step (mark link and hit unlink).
Although those familiar with how oEmbed works can spot this and do it, average Joe might not know this, especially as 3.7.1 does not auto-link (I believe we did have it auto-linked a few versions back and this was removed for this reason then as well?)

The "auto-linking on paste" is a IE specific "feature". To avoid it, use the "Paste as Text" button on the second row, or just "unlink" after pasting.
In other browsers (Firefox, Chrome) something similar can happen if the users copy auto-linked URL from a web page and paste it (i.e. the browsers allow pasting of linked text). This is the expected behavior.
Can't reproduce this. No auto linking for any link and oEmbed works fine. Maybe you have some plugin enabled or you copy/paste rich content into Visual editor?
