Conditional Formatting Rule for duplicates not working for pasted in text

I am at my wits end. All I'm trying to do is compile a list of business names and for some reason, if I paste any in, the rule simply doesn't care.

I've triple checked for any hidden spaces or indents and purged the column, which to my utter bewilderment has broken the rule all together. It only seems to work when I type text in or paste from a different cell but nothing else.

Any ideas?
