Command-C to copy a component name crashes Grasshopper and Rhino 8

[terry_ross]

I wanted to copy the custom name assigned to a Value List component and paste it as the name of the Integer component it is connected to.

After right-clicking to get the context menu and selecting the text in the name field, I hit Command+C to copy the text. Grasshopper and Rhino 8 crash.

This is not unique to the Value List component.

I am using Version 8 (8.19.25132.01002, 2025-05-12) on a MacBook Pro running macOS Sequoia version 15.5

Obviously, there is simple workaround, but it is easy to forget this is a problem. Also, after restarting Grasshopper, I do not get the option to start from a recovery file.

Hi Terry -

Hi Ruxin -

@ruxinx

so speedy!

Sorry, I jumped the gun. The fix went into 8.x, which currently is 8.21. The first public release of this version should be released next week.
