Description Brett Porter 2002-06-14 07:59:26 UTC 
I copy a field in explorer, then select a folder
and hit Ctrl-V, and it pastes my clipboard text
into the editor where the cursor was (but is not
currently showing as I am focused in the explorer).

Using the context menu to past works just fine.

This appeared in 3.4b1, works ok in milestone 4

I am sorry, but I don't undesrstand what you exactly do.

What do you mean by "I copy a field in explorer" ? file or field ?

or "but is not currently showing as I am focused in the explorer" do
you mean :
You haven't opened Source Editor or Source Editor isn't visible
(something else) ?

Closing as INVALID , please answer my questions and write exactly
steps to reproduce and REOPEN issue.

Thank andvance.

sorry, was typing on the way home on friday :)

yes, copy a file in explorer using Ctrl-C. There is a source window
open, and pressing Ctrl-V in the explorer pastes into the source
window. I was trying to copy a file from one folder into another.

I don't have beta 1 at home, so I'll get some succinct steps at work
on Monday. It should be easy to replicate.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2002-06-21 16:16:59 UTC 
I am sorry but I still not understand, are next steps right ? :

- run IDE
- open some java file <sampledir>/colorpicker/ColorPicker.java
- select ColorPreview.java node in Explorer 
- press Ctrl+C
- select folder texteditor
- press Ctrl-V

-> What now happend ? As you wrote : pasted file is opened or , some
text is pasted to Source Editor at the cursor position , WHat text is
pasted to Source Editor ?


Well some new ideas, where is focus when you press Ctrl+V ? 
- if Source Editor is focused - it's right, copied class (source code)
is pasted to the destination class. 
- if focus owner is Explorer and you really select target node-folder
and text(source code of copied class) is pasted to the Source Editor
it's a bug.
- if focus owner is Explorer and you select destination node-class
file - it's right, copied class (source code) is pasted to the
destination class.

Please answer my questions and thanks for your time.

Hi,

I've ben trying to replicate this, but its not as easy as I first thought!

Just to clear it up:
- copied a file from explorer
- explorer was focused when I pasted
- current clipboard contents was pasted into editor instead (nothing
to do with copied explorer file)

Since I can't replicate it, it might be best to close this, and if I
can get it happening again, I will reopen the bug.
