I experience problems with the Rev IDE when I copy-paste text from MS Excel into the IDE, on OS X. Like:
- script won't compile - find and replace dialog won't find correctly - answer dialog won't properly display text stored in a custom property
clipboard() just says "text". But most fields in the IDE seem to be perfectly happy to accept extended or control characters in a copy-paste operation, but that causes trouble later on.
What makes me think it's a bug with Rev:
If I delete the pasted text in the IDE, and then type the same text directly into the IDE, then the problems go away. Also if I paste the same text from Excel into Emacs, or into TextEdit.app, no control characters or extended characters are shown. So even if Excel *is* putting weird characters into the pasteboard, shouldn't Rev be able to deal with it?
Are there any 3rd party apps I can use to clean up the text of what's on the clipboard.
I guess I could write a smart pasteKey handler and try to insert it into the message path before the IDE's pasteKey handler, but what a pain to track this down.
