Typists warn copy/paste and undo behavior must match Word workflows
Summary
Staff said cut/copy/paste inside code sections is unreliable, move functions interrupt drafting flow, and undo often reverses grouped automated steps; they asked developers to expose undo history and allow simple cut/paste for code sections.
Multiple staff members demonstrated that control-C/ control-V and simple cut/paste frequently fail within code-section areas, forcing them to use specialized move functions that interrupt normal drafting. They said those limitations slow work during busy session days when typists and attorneys must produce reliable, printable drafts quickly.
Staff asked for a visible undo history that reveals grouped automated steps (so typists can step back to a prior state) and for reliable native cut/copy/paste inside code sections. One attendee said the undo behavior can undo many automated steps at once and that seeing the internal step list is essential to meet deadlines.
