Build 20030107 The Description field in the PDE Schema editor allows to copy text but does not allow to past it. Intended behavior?
Just found that it works if I past form the same editor. I wanted to paste text that I copied in another PDE Schema editor.
No, you should be able to copy and paste. I just started two editors and managed to paste between the two. Maybe this is related to the exceptions you found in the log (separate defects open for these).
Test Case to reproduce the problem without producing any error: 1. Open a workspace and ensure org.eclipse.ui is in source 2. Open schema editor for editors.mxsd 3. Switch to 'Definiton' page and select attribute extension->point 4. In the Description text area select all text and press Ctrl+C or use 'Copy' from the menu 5. Open schema editor for editorActions.mxsd 6. Switch to 'Definiton' page and select attribute extension->point 7. In the Description text area press Ctrl+V or use 'Paste' from the menu ==> nothing happens / Copy is disabled
We do allow paste (and other common global actions) but there is a defect (#27539) that causes non-source page to loose key bindings as soon as you switch to the source page and back.
Fixed by providing a workaround for bug 27539.
