I just installed the latest beta and am having a problem with pasting into the Variables box. Though it appears my focus is on the Value text box in the pop-up, when I use Ctrl-V to paste, the text from my clipboard gets pasted into the editor window instead.

I have no problem with typing into the dialog box, so the problem seems to be specifically related to pasting. And apparently copying as well. Just to test this, I attempted to copy the text in the box using Ctrl-C. When I then attempt to paste the contents of my clipboard, it is the text that I had copied and was trying to paste into the box.

Thanks for taking a look at this. I probably paste into this dialog more than I type, so I’d love to see this fixed. 🙂

Blessings,

Phyllis
