OS X: Can not paste text as filename into save dialog.
Hello! We just noticed that in both oxygen 9.2 and 9.3 it's not possible to paste text as the filename into a save dialog. Pasted text will instead appear in the document where you had the cursor placed before opening the save dialog. This may appear in other versions as well, we only tested what we had available.

Hello, The Copy, Cut and Paste actions do not work in the Save dialog of a Mac application. You must select the file from the file list of the dialog or type the file name. However we were not aware that the actions modify the editor panel when the Save dialog which is a modal dialog is displayed. We will fix that. Thank you for reporting the problem, Sorin Jan Nylund wrote:

Is this related to Save dialogs from Java applications? In regular Mac applications I can freely copy, cut and paste the text of the filename (tested several, bot apple's and third party softwares). Br, Jan -- Jan Nylund Senior System Designer Citec Information Oy Ab
Hello, Yes, it is a problem of the native Save dialog in the Apple JVM. The menu actions are still active when the modal dialog for Save is on screen and the keystroke event is passed to the Paste menu action which runs on the editor panel. We disabled the actions in the Edit menu when the Save dialog is on screen but the keystroke has no effect in this case. You can use the Paste action in the Save dialog on a Mac computer only with a Ctrl + click on the text field and the selection of the Paste action in the popup menu. Regards, Sorin Jan Nylund wrote:
