Right-click -> Paste cannot be undone in Item Pane

Steps to reproduce:
1) Copy the text "Title" with Ctrl+C
2) Create an item with Title "Test"
3) Click on the new item in the items list to select it
4) Right-click on the title field in the Item Pane

5) Click on Paste
6) Try to cancel the paste with Ctrl+Z
→ Nothing happens.

The Undo is also not available from the right-click menu:

Same for all the fields, except the Last Name field. In that case, it is the opposite: the paste can be undone if the field is not selected before, but cannot be undone if already editing the field.

In all cases, pressing Esc still works to undo all changes since the start of editing.

  • We can look into enabling Undo for field-not-selected Pastes.

    I can reproduce the issue with the Last Name field. A bit bizarre - there isn't really anything special about that field! We'll look into it.
