Cannot paste filename from clipboard when saving new file

I don't know if it's just for mac user, but when saving a new file or doing a "save as", I cannot paste my file name from the clipboard. It just does a chime sound. I have to actually type it.
Should I open a ticket for that?

The save file dialog is the OS system dialog. So it's a mac issue. Moho has no control over that.

Then Moho is the only software it gives me an issue with. Weird. I'll keep an eye on it.

No, its not a systems issue. Some programs can do it quite well, others (like Moho, Audacity ...) not.

In Moho, on a Mac, to paste from the clipboard, do this:
Right click on the selected text > choose "paste" from the pop-up menu.
For example, when saving a Moho file for the first time, in the SAVE AS window you will see "Untitled"; this text will be already be selected.
Right-click on the selected text, now choose paste from the pop-up menu.
