EPIM 11.2.5 — Copy/paste of tasks loses its place

Post by DG »

In v11.2.5, pasting a copied task has taken on a new behavior. This is the sequence in a database that has more than 300 tasks:

1. Select a task
2. Ctrl-C to copy it
3. Ctrl-V to paste it in place, i.e. to have the copied task become a subtask of the original.

Result: EPIM pastes the item, but the cursor jumps to another task, forcing you to search for the one it just pasted.
Expected result: EPIM pastes and selects the task, so you keep your place in the list.

Copying and pasting a task works as expected in a small list where tasks fit in the main window. I also got expected results in 11.2.4.

Regards,
DG

More information. Upon pasting the copied note, EPIM returns to the previously selected task. For example:
1. Select and edit a task.
2. Elsewhere in the list, select another task, copy, and paste in place.

Results: EPIM returns to the task that was selected in Step 1. It seems the database pointer depends on the last edited task.
