Hi,

I am working on the mod Computer core and I have a problem with the element "text-box" :
"Copy / Past" function does not work well, which makes complex script development difficult (New lines are skipped)

I guess you're already aware of this problem, but I was wondering if there was a way to circumvent it (because I have not found a solution yet) ?
And if not, will this problem always be present with the new version of the Gui provided with the 0.17?

I've found the same problem, have you found any workaround yet?
What I use for now is the on_gui_text_changed event and check if the length is more than 10 different compared to the previous change to detect a paste action.
When it's a paste action I do a event.element.text:gsub(' ', '\n') to replace every double space to a newline.
Unfortunately tabs are also changed to a space character, so nice code indentation gets lost and turned in extra newlines.

Same issue at my side.

I am working on a "scriptable combinator" -> lua code into a text-box

Any solution available or other workaroud ?

another issue is that after a few lines, the first line disappears, but only once.
