Zugg Software :: View topic - [1.16] Pasting into Search box goes to command line

If you try and paste something into the Search box in the Settings Editor it actually gets pasted into your command line. Quite annoying!

same here. And very annoying. Plus it seems for me pasting anything that has the ENTER key character in it crashes on sight although i will reaffirm this and make its own topic later.

Yes, this will be a tough one to fix. The search box is currently implemented as a toolbar, and edit boxes on the toolbar don't receive the keyboard focus like normal edit boxes do. You can right-click and select paste, but when you select Edit/Paste from the toolbar, that changes the toolbar focus away from the text box (giving the Paste command the focus), so then it doesn't know what control to paste the clipboard into. This will require some low-level changes to the DevExpress toolbar system, so it probably won't be fixed for the public release.

Although if you can reproduce the crash, that might be something I can fix.

I should perhaps mention that I was using Control-V in my attempt to paste.

Right...the control keys (like Ctrl-V) are actually menu shortcut keys. So it's the same as activating the Edit/Paste menu command. Only the right-click menu for an edit control leaves the focus alone.

Well, it's good to know that there is a way of pasting into the Search box. So it's not as annoying as I thought.
