Pasting Text Box Converts it to Text Path

Question

When I copy a Text Box and paste it in a different or new document it gets converted to Text Paths.

I just reinstalled Illustrator 2023 / 27.8.1 but to no avail, removed preferences and caches, removed plugins.

My colleague uses the same system Macos 13.4.1 and Adobe Illustrator version but no problems there.

Anyone know what's going on here? On the left the original, on the right the pasted graphics:

I had TeamViewer running. Quitting it fixes the issue. Awesome, thanks!!
