Chipp,
Do you know if there was a BZ describing which problem was fixed in the 
latest release ?

Because I know the problem of poor cut/paste behaviour isn't completely 
fixed, and I'd like to see if it needs a new BZ entry.

Recipe:   (WinXP, Rev 2.6 bld 108)

open Rev
open Message Box
Type "abc"
Highlight the whole line (Ctrl-A)
Copy it  (Ctrl-C)
Overtype something new (e.g. "def")
Highlight this whole line (Ctrl-A)
Paste  (Ctrl-V)

What do you see ? 
It should be "abc" - but for me it is in fact the last thing I "Copied" 
- in this case, "this is a known ...."
Using the menu gets it right - and thereafter using Ctrl-shortcuts seems 
to work OK every time

This is much improved over 2.5.1 (when you couldn't do that first 
"paste" operation at all - all it did was beep, even if you used the 
menu). - but it's still not completely correct.
