Pasting into the console and the dbnomics series entry box are now
enabled in the Windows snapshots.
Sorry, this is becoming a little off-topic with respect to the start of
the thread, but on a recent snapshot on Windows I'm now observing this
behavior:
- copy something to the clipboard
- select an entire word in the script editor (by double-clicking on it)
- paste the clipboard content (e.g. via ctrl-v)
-> Pasting occurs right _next to_ the selection. Normally it would
replace the selection.
Perhaps this is a side effect of that recent change?
thanks
