Cmd+C / Cmd+V keyboard shortcuts do not work in Save As dialog on macOS with Ukrainian keyboard layout

Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+C and Cmd+V) do not work in the Save As dialog in Adobe After Effects on macOS when using a Ukrainian keyboard layout.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Adobe After Effects.
  2. Open the Save As dialog.
  3. Copy a filename or text using Cmd+C (Ukrainian layout active).
  4. Click the filename input field in the Save As dialog.
  5. Press Cmd+V to paste the copied text.

Expected result:

The copied text should be pasted into the filename field.

Actual result:

The keyboard shortcut does not work and macOS plays a system error sound. However, Paste works correctly when selected from the right-click context menu and with english layout.

Additional information:

  • Cmd+C and Cmd+V work correctly in Finder, TextEdit, and other After Effects text input fields.
  • The issue persists with both the standard Ukrainian keyboard layout and the Ukrainian – Mac PC custom layout.
  • The issue appears to be isolated to the Save As dialog.

    Hi ​@Gabs388101926vz7,

    Thank you for reporting this issue. A similar issue was recently fixed in our Beta builds, would you be able to check if this is working as you expect in the latest After Effects (Beta) build? It should be version 27.1, available under Beta apps in the Creative Cloud app.

    Cheers,

    - John, After Effects Engineering Team

    Thank you for your response! Unfortunately, After Effects (Beta) is not listed in my Creative Cloud app. The only available Beta app is Illustrator. I also tried downloading After Effects (Beta) from the official Adobe website, but the installation redirects me to Creative Cloud, where nothing happens.
