With XXE, in a DITA topic, do this:
1. Copy some text
2. Place the pointer/cursor at the end of a <p> element.
3. Press Enter/Return (this will cause a new, emtpy p-element to be
created - and also, the insertion point will move to the new empty
paragraph)
4. Now, without doing anything else, press Cmd-V to paste the text that
you copied into the new empty pagraph.
* Expected result: Copied text to be pasted into the new, empty p-element.
* Actual result: Nothing happens
* Workarounds: Do one of these before trying to paste - then pasting
will work:
o Either: Click inside the empty p-element in order to activate
the 'text' node.
o Or: press the upwards-arrow, and then the downwards-arrow.
o Or: Type one character (and then delete it, if you don’t want it
there)
A similar example, where things does work: Insert a new entry in a DITA
<dl> list: Pasting then works, without workarounds.
This issue is not related to <p> or to <dl>.
When you insert a new element, it is automatically *explicitly*
*selected* (red box around it) and the caret is moved inside it.
By pressing Cmd-V, XXE thinks that you want to replace the element as a
whole (e.g. the new <p>) by some plain text. Because this is seldom a
valid action, generally nothing happens.
The simplest workaround is to press "Esc Esc" (cancel selection) before
pressing Cmd-V.
Sorry for this XXE quirk.
