Post Paste (Ctrl-V) does not work

I often "cut" the ISBN number from another site and then "paste" it in the Book (New Record) ISBN field and then download the book details using Ctrl-G.

I notice that in v10 I am unable to "paste" a fully numeric ISBN (say 9789380340043). However the same ISBN with a non-numeric character in it (978-9380340043) can be pasted and things work fine thereafter.

This inability to paste a numeric value is observed in other fields too: "Title", "LCCN", "Dewey" etc, but not in fields like: Author, Credits, Synopsis etc. There is no problem pasting Alphabetic text.

This was possible in v9 and earlier versions.

Is it a bug or a feature :grin: ?

Cheers

Works fine here. Do you have the same problem with the Sample database?

Fredrik,

I think the issue is with data from the site (http://www.flipkart.com) where I get the details. I cannot cut-paste any numeric ISBN data from this site to any database, including Sample.

For all other sites it works just fine.

Thanks and please treat this as closed ... unless there are any settings that you think I should examine.

Cheers
