Description ccv 2003-08-13 09:39:00 UTC 
Alt-E/P does not work
1. select a symbol in the opened text file and
push Alt-E/C (Copy),
2. move cursor in the other place and push Alt-E/P
(Paste).
Nothing happens, paste does not work.
Note, that paste via CTRL-V works fine.

Product Version: Sun ONE Studio, (Build 030812)
Java: 1.4.1_03
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2003-08-25 16:56:09 UTC 
Works fine for me in a dev build, Linux, JDK 1.4.2. Did not check in
3.5 though.
Comment 2 Peter Zavadsky 2003-11-19 14:48:35 UTC 
In current build it works fine.
Comment 3 ccv 2003-11-20 09:18:22 UTC 
Bug is 100% reproducible for me in the Arrow build 07.
Sun Java Studio Enterprise 2004Q1 (build 031024_1)
IDE/I Spec=3.42.2.0.1
jdk 1.4.2 or 1.4.1_05

By pushing Alt-E/P corresponding item Project from main menu is
invoked.
Comment 4 Peter Zavadsky 2003-11-20 09:36:23 UTC 
I've tried it in NB build (is arrow made on top of current NB trunk?).

When I press alt-E .. edit menu is expanded.. then press alt-P..
depending if Paste action is enabled, the Paste is expanded... if not
.. the Project menu is expanded. I guess it's corect behaviour, isn't it?
Comment 5 ccv 2003-11-20 10:01:56 UTC 
I guess, you select a tree node, not a word in the Source editor.
1. Open any text file in the Source Editor and select any word
2. Push Alt/E, Edit menu expanded, 
   push C (copy)
3. Move cursor to the next line in the Source editor 
4. Push Alt/E, Edit menu expanded, Paste item is ENABLED.
5. Push P (paste)
ISSUE: Project menu is expanded instead of pasting a word in the line.
Note, that it is impossible to expand Paste item (to Paste/Copy or
Paste/Create Link) like on the selected tree node. If to select a word
in the Source Editor, Paste is not expanded.
We get arrow build from MPK and IDE version = IDE/I Spec=3.42.2.0.1.
Comment 6 Marian Mirilovic 2004-03-17 11:37:49 UTC 
This isn't fixed in NB3.6 [nb_36_rc1](200403161736)

It works in explorer , because there is Paste submenu ! , but for
editor there is only Paste menu item 

Steps to reproduce:
- open file
- select some word
- push Alt + E
-> Editor main menu is expanded
- push P (mnemonic for Paste)
-> Projects main menu is expanded

I'm not sure , but there was reported something similar, but now I
can't find it

Comment 8 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-09-15 10:30:22 UTC 
It starts work in jdk1.5 (1.5.0-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
1.5.0-rc-b63), looks as a problem on jdk side. Closed as WONTFIX.
