Database forms:
Is there a setting somewhere that prevents the standard keyboard Command-V from pasting text into a form text field? Currently, the only way to paste is to right-click and select "paste." All other editing shortcuts (Copy, Undo) work fine. Other parts of OO and most other parts of Base work as expected. This is only an issue in Base form text fields.

Q60 suggests that this is how MacOS works now and no OpenOffice setting controls the behavior. Q37 doesn't apply to your question. I don't use Base forms.
Q60: Why can't I paste the file name into the Open/Save dialog?

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ☐ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

Command-V works in all text fields of OO except those that are in a Base table or form. It seems odd that this would be related to Q60, unless the underlying Base code uses the same code Apple uses for its Open/Save dialog.
