Copy and paste control loses property

rbuser

RB 6.00 D5

Copying and pasting a TppdbText loses the DataPipeLine property (within same
report). To add to the confusion, the field combo on the toolbar still
shows the field list, but selecting a field does not change the property
until the datapipeline is set again.

Other suggestions for the designer:

Make more use of keyboard control -
* Allow selection of current control using cursor keys (as in Delphi forms).
* Send keystrokes to Object Inspector, esp when setting caption property
(try setting the caption property for each of 100 labels -click to select,
click caption property, start typing!)

Thanks, for reporting the issue with the datapipeline.

I'd vote for simply having to click on the label and then start typing. I'm
sure this is already on the to-do list.

The lost datapipeline on copy/paste has been fixed for the next maintenance
release.
