Paste text into "Save As>New Folder" Dialog Box on Mac OS (very long standing bug, annoying)

For many many years now, in Mac OS, there has been an issue in Premiere (and apparently some other Creative Cloud suite of applications) where, in any of the File Export or Save As dialog boxes, when one brings up the "Create New Folder" dialog box, one cannot paste text into text field.  This is something encountered many many times daily for some of us.  In the Illustrator forums, this same issue has been upvoted many many places.  An Adobe employee acknowledged that this was a known issue YEARS AGO, and suggested upvoting the initial complaint.

Hello @GrahamWillcox_OMC_Studios

Thanks for your bug report and the reference links.  Those are very helpful.  I can understand the annoyance with such a long-standing bug.  I can reproduce the behavior you're seeing, and I will write up a bug report for our engineers.  Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for reaching out.
