Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.25] Copy and paste in the settings editor

There seems to be something wonky about copying and pasting settings within the settings editor.
I will post a way to reproduce this, but has anyone else noticed strangeness?
My troubles seem to arise when using ctrl-x, ctrl-c, ctrl-v instead of the right click menus..

It seems that sometimes the Editor will confuse ctrl-x, ctrl-c and ctrl-v with the native (DOS) control characters and will paste these into the data window instead of executing the conventional commands. This was also true for the previous CMUD versions that I've used, 1.34 and 2.18.

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce either of these issues at all.

Makena: On your original post, it matters exactly what field in the editor has the keyboard focus. If the Tree View has the focus, then Ctrl-C/V will copy/paste the selected setting in the tree. If an edit field has the focus, then Ctrl-C/V will copy/paste the selected text in the edit field. If there is a problem, I'll need an exact procedure for reproducing it.

Anaristos: I have *never* seen that happen, nor has anyone else reported it, so I'll need a procedure for this in order to reproduce it. Given the way the Scintilla editor works, I can't imagine any way for control characters to get inserted into the text like that.
