Description:
Problem in ER-model table edittor. Combinations Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V lost their default behavior. It is necessary to use a context menu as workaround.

How to repeat:
"Ctrl+C":
1. Open any EER diagram.
2. Dblclk on any table to open table edittor.
3. Open Columns tab.
4. Dblclk on any column name to start text edit.
5. Select with mouse part of text.
6. Press Ctrl+C
Selection will be reset.
Focus will be lost.

"Ctrl+V":
1. Open any EER diagram.
2. Dblclk on any table to open table edittor.
3. Open Columns tab.
4. Dblclk on any column name to start text edit.
5. Select with mouse part of text.
6. Press right button of mouse, to see context menu, and choose Copy.
7. Change place of text caret or edit another column name.
8. Press Ctrl+V
You will see dialog "Place object in diagram" with text: "<current table name> is already in this diagram. Would you like to duplicate..."

Suggested fix:
To take out management of combinations of keys in settings.
or
To return behavior by default - Ctrl+C must copy only selected text or object, and Ctrl+V must past clipboard data to focused place.
