Copy/paste in 2.3 alpha

I've tried the new 2.2.1 engine that was just released, and it works 
great. I also have looked at the recent alpha release of 2.3a3 for OS X 
(posted for testing by enterprise users on the improve list) and I am 
having the same problem with copy/paste command key shortcuts in the 
script editor as I did with the last alpha release of 2.3.

I would be happy to hear from anyone using a 2.3 alpha in OS X. 
Basically the problem is that copy/paste does nothing in the script 
editor except move the insertion point to the beginning or end of a 
line. No copying or pasting occurs. Choosing Copy or Paste from the Edit 
menu does work, it is just the command-key shortcuts that fail.

The behavior acts as though eMacs key bindings is turned on, but it is 
not. I haven't seen this problem with any build prior to 2.3. Would 
appreciate verification; I can't work without these keyboard shortcuts 
in the script editor. The command keys work fine in other fields; it is 
only the script editor that is affected.

I haven't tried disabling the script editor field script yet, but I 
suspect that will fix it. However, there is nothing in there that 
logically should interfere.
