copy-paste now quotes the copied text . How to stop that? [message #1816979]

After switching to the new version, copy-past via clipboard now quotes the copied text. So, if I copy part of a String literal including a surrounding double quote (i.e., text") the entered value is different (text\"). How to disable that?

You can disable this escaping by:
1. In the preferences menu deselect: Java > Editor > Typing > Escape text when pasting into a string literal
2. Disable smart insert mode: Edit > Smart Insert Mode [Ctrl+Shift+Insert]
