Hallo,

if I paste (ctrl+V) some content in multiple cursors editing mode, this is pasted only on the first cursor position and other cursors disappear.

In Brackets the some working correctly (there is possible paste into all cursor positions and all cursors are still in place after that).

I think, it is probably bug - or I missed something?

(Windows 10, DreamWeaver 2019, code editing panel)

    For multiple insertions,  use Find and Replace (Ctrl + Shift + F) and use the Replace All button.

    Thanks for Your answer (I know this), but this is not the same functionality ;-)
    Imagine this situation - I do not want replace identical sentence, I want to add something from clipboard to different places in code (this place is sourounded by different contects and it is not possible to be higlighted by Find).
    Again - in Brackets itself (which are used inside DW as well) this is working properly :-)

    The code engine in Dreamweaver CC is based on Brackets but it is incomplete and doesn't always behave like Brackets. 

    I'm afraid pasting code does not replace multiple highlighted strings.  However typing does.
