Description

We are using ui-money-mask directive with 2 decimals.

When the user pastes whole numbers like 123456 in the text box, the last 2 digits are taken to be decimals by the directive. So the value in the text box becomes $ 1234.56 which is not what the user expects. This is clearly a defect for us but I am not sure if you would consider this as a general defect or as designed?

Research direction
Investigate the ui money mask directive source code, likely in a file like src/money mask.js. The issue is that when pasting a whole number (e.g., 123456), the directive incorrectly treats the last two digits as decimals, converting it to 1234.56. Look for the paste event handler or the parsing logic that splits the number. The fix should detect if the pasted value contains a decimal separator; if not, skip decimal splitting.
