If I copy text, then use Command + F to switch to the Find section on the Find Panel, all the text in the Find textfield is highlighted. If I paste the copied text into it, the highlighted text is not replaced - the pasted text is added to the beginning of the textfield, and then the entire textfield is highlighted. Why doesn’t paste replace the highlighted text in the Find textfield?

Pretty sure this started for me when I upgraded to macOS 27. Do you have a bug report I can sign up to. ---

This is related with macOS Golden Gate and fixed for the next release. If you have access to the Testers channel, feel free to download the most current Xojo beta build and try it.
