I have found and fixed that bug in CodeViewEditor.cpp that only pasted the first of the multiple clips.
So the user-guide is now correct when it comes to the ClipsEditor and multiple selections. That fix is now in master and it will appear in the upcoming beta 1.5.0 release.
The Clips toolbar and window works differently by immediately pasting in exactly what you select and that is as expected so no multiple selection. Only the Clip Editor has this feature.
Yes targeting the Find and Replace field is a bit different. You can target the Find and Replace from external Dialogs like the ClipsEditor or the Toolbar/ClipsBar but you can not easily do that for the ClipsWindow which is a DockWidget as it shares focus with the main window so clicking it it takes the focus away from the F&R (another DcokWidget) but it still is considered the MainWindow as focus.
So the ClipsWindow must operate in a different way from the ClipsEditor because it is a DockWidget.
So please leave the user-guide info as it for this part, as although it does not work for you now, it will work for the real Beta 1.5.0 and final 1.5.0 versions!
Thanks for the head's up.

Another thing I noticed while testing 1.5.0 against the old User Manual, is that you can use the Clip Bars and Clip Editor to paste clips into the Find and Replace fields in the Find & Replace box. However, it doesn't work when pasting clips from the Clips window. When using the Clips window, you can only paste into an HTML file, not the Find or Replace fields. Not sure if this is expected behavior or worth chasing. But thought I'd mention it.
