Pasting text into a DocumentTarget

[Kawoosh]

Hello,

In my document I have an empty line which begins with a DocumentTarget. When positioning the cursor to that DocumentTarget and doing normal writing everything looks fine. But when I paste some text from the clipboard the text is suddenly inside the DocumentTarget so that it appears as a normal text field. Is that a bug or does exist a workaround for that problem?

Hello Aline,
Could you please provide me that document, so I can reproduce that?
I don't think this is a bug, but missing code on your side. Did you already try to move the cursor out of the DocumentTarget?

I can send you an example next monday as I'm currently on vacation.

Hello Gunnar,

I can't provide you a document to reproduce the issue but I can give you some steps to reproduce it yourself.
Sadly our internet security is way overboard, I cannot upload my test project.

1. Start the programm.
2. Insert a few new lines.
3. Add something to the clipboard.
3. Position the cursor into a new line.
4. Insert a DocumentTarget.
5. Press CTRL + V

--> Everything works fine!
Now the steps which will produce the error:

1. Start the programm.
2. Insert a few new lines.
3. Add something to the clipboard.
3. Position the cursor into a new line.
4. Insert a DocumentTarget.
5. Position the cursor to a different line.
6. Position the cursor back to the DocumentTarget.
7. Press CTRL + V

--> The copied text is now part of the DocumentTarget!

I hope you understand my problem now! I tried to work around the problem in the TextField events by determining if the field is DocumentTarget, but it didn't work.

Hello Aline,
I am able to reproduce the issue and added it to our bug list.
Unfortunately, I don't see a workaround at the moment, sorry.

Hi Gunnar,

do you know in which version you will fix it?

[Gunnar Giffey]

No, sorry. I just have added the bug, so it will have to be analyzed first.
