    Hi, I have asked why this is happening on Unity Answers but I didn't receive any answers. The problem is that in the editor if you copy some text and then try to paste it into an InputField it works as expected. However on a standalone Mac build it pastes the text twice. I have no idea of how to fix this, does anybody know how I could do this?

    Can anybody else confirm that this is still an issue or not? I'm trying to find a work around.

    I'm able to workaround the paste bug on OSX by building the UI library:
    https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/ui/overview
    And modifying the InputField to ignore the second paste attempt in a single event loop.

    I store a private flag, initialized to false.

    I reset it to false at the start of
    Code (csharp):
    1. public virtual void OnUpdateSelected(BaseEventData eventData)
    In KeyPressed I only do the paste if the flag is off and then I set the flag.
    Code (csharp):
    1. if (!m_pastedThisLoop) { Append(clipboard); m_pastedThisLoop = true; }
    Success! I'm going to bet this is not a good idea to do on other platforms, but maybe it's benign.

    Regardless, the next thing I hit is the arrow keys not working in 5.2.3 (they work in 5.2.1 and 4.6.9).

    I've been wanting to move from NGUI to the new UI code, but the InputField keeps being broken in different magical ways in every version. Kind of a big problem.

    Yeah the arrow key bug is a nightmare. Fine in editor, not working on OSX desktop on 5.2.3 or 5.2.1 for me. Applied your paste fix which saved me some time.

    Very annoying, I am thinking of moving to nGUI

    what does that do for your compile times ?

    oh I see, you recompile the bundled DLL itself.
