Description of the Issue
This Community posting discusses data that is pasted into Find what and Replace with is truncated at the first CR character, making multiline input more difficult than need be. This is a feature request to change that.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Data that contains a CR (carriage return) should not terminate the pasted data at that point.
Example:
Consider ab\r\ncd in the clipboard as a precondition.
Current behavior when paste attempted into Find what or Replace with: ab
Desired behavior: ab\r\ncd (note that this would appear to look to the user like this after pasting: abcd, but the CR and LF would be there)
