I have upgraded to 4.3 over the weekend and have discovered that the data base search that use to allow Copy/Paste onto the search line now comes up with a new box but no option to ‘paste’. I find it very useful to copy/paste as a) it’s quick b) I’m slightly dyslexic and prevents negative searches because of spelling mistakes.
Two questions:
- Am I missing something and there is an option to do what I would like?
- Any chance of adding this back in?
I have attached a screen capture to show what I mean.

You could always use ctrl and v to paste.
Good point actually. In older versions, the popup menu (with the Copy/Paste/… entries) was managed by Windows. This is always the case if an Edit control does not have a specific popup menu.
Now that there is a specific one, the Windows-generated menu is gone. And I’m not aware of any way to merge those two menus, or incorporate the functionality of the Windows menu into the custom menu.
I plan to move to a newer Delphi version soon, and I think there is an extended TEdit component available there where you can add an icon that the user (left-)clicks to select the search categories etc., while the functionality of the right mouse button is preserved (standard Windows popup menu).
Glad that I was able to highlight this so it triggered an idea and yes I did know about control V etc but I like being lazy ;D
