Hi,

We have a RCP application with a scripting console, where JavaScript, R, etc. code is entered and executed. On Mac OS X and Linux one can paste in the scripting console text containing multiple lines, while on Windows only the first line of the clipboard text is pasted.
We have this code in the scripting console view class:

pasteInputAction = new Action("Paste") {
public void run() {
input.paste();
}

Is it possible to paste multiple lines text via SWT.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Valentin

My guess is that the text entry field is not being created with style
SWT.MULTI. I assume the scripting console is something you have written
in your RCP app(?). If so then this should be an easy change to try.

Had just figured it out myself, but Grant, thanks for your answer, you're totally right. It was the text entry field that was constructed with SWT.SINGLE style. And yes, the scripting condole is written in the RCP app, but we have several consoles and I just needed to look at the abstract class they all extend and the input Text object was there.

Thank you again!
