bug#303: 23.0.60; Save Buffer As...

[Ralph Hicks]

Pasting from the system clipboard (using the standard Mac OS X keystroke
'⌘V') does not appear to work when the focus is in the text entry field
labelled "Save As:" in the dialog window "Save As" that appears in response to
selecting the menu item "File > Save Buffer As..."

This functionality appears to work in other applications and seems to be a
reasonable expectation.  I am reporting this as a bug as I found no mention of
it in the buffer opened in response to selecting the menu item "Help > Emacs
Known Problems".

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.10.1, *Step 9.0rc3)

You need to "paste" the string (i.e. "yank" the string in Emacs
parlance) with C-y.

If you want to enable CMD-V shortcut, M-x cua-mode RET.

I'm closing the bug, feel free to reopen it if I misunderstood
your problem.
