To preserve existing behavior, if the clipboard contains a valid ISBN then the prefix and that ISBN are pasted without any further interaction.

Change will be in the next release.
Thank you chaley, that helps a lot. I frequently have to fill as many as 50 ISBN fields (then download metadata in bulk), so it really was annoying to type or even paste the isbn: prefix.
