[oXygen-user] OS X: Can not paste text as filename into save dialog

[Sorin Ristache]

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
