3.2 RC5

- hit a breakpoint where some String local vars are in scope
- in Variables view, select the value of one of the String vars
- it goes into edit mode
- press Ctrl+C in an attempt to copy the text
- it exits edit mode, flashes a brief progress dialog, and the result is, e.g. 
someVar	"someStringValue"	
(the result of the Copy Variables action)

Global actions like Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select All should get redirected to the text field when in edit mode.
TextActionHandler can help with this.  See how it's used in RenameResourceAction.

Nothing planned for 3.3. Currently in 3.3, cut/copy/paste do work in the cell editor, but the actions still are not properly linked to the global actions. The actions also work from the cell editor's context menu.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
