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)
 of 2007-11-25 on hermes.mshome.net
configured using `configure '--with-ns' '--without-x'
'--prefix=/Users/arobert/src/EmacsApp/emacs/nextstep/build/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources'
'--exec_prefix=/Users/arobert/src/EmacsApp/emacs/nextstep/build/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS'
'--libexecdir=/Users/arobert/src/EmacsApp/emacs/nextstep/build/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec'
