Cut & Paste does not work in the Captions panel:

1. Highlight some text in a caption in the Captions panel.

2. Ctrl-x to cut it (don't copy it). The text disappears, as expected.

3. Click in another text caption in the Captions panel.

4. Hit ctrl-v to paste it.

Nothing happens.

It seems "cut" performs the same task as "delete". The workaround is to copy the text, then delete it, then paste it elsewhere.

User experience or interface

I tried selecting some caption text in the Program Monitor and cutting it, then pasting it somewhere else, and it worked as expected. And now I can no longer replicate the buggy behaviour at all - now when I cut/paste in the Captions panel, it works perfectly! I'm on PPro release 25.1.0 Build 73.

@hellopaul4,

I'm not seeing this in PR 25.1.0.

To select the text, I enter edit mode. I assume this is what you are doing, and then enter edit mode to paste in the other caption.

But for me, the cut text gets inserted as expected.

I looked, and even if Ctrl-x or Ctrl-c is assigned a second function the keyboard shortcuts I don't know what would do this.

Hi @hellopaul4 - Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.
Please see, How do I write a bug report?

Have you tried double clicking the caption to enter edit mode and then cut > paste?
Sorry for the frustration.
