1- mantis issue 426 :

 

I clicked in the filter box of a grid that was "tiled" beside the one I was working in, got some misleading feedback that focus was where I clicked and... pasted...

 

Well, as described in the mantis issue, focus wasn't in the textbox but on the item field because this is where I left it before -- so it jumped there "from the filter text box".

 

In general, I think that when one clicks in an inactive tiled grid (whether it's in the filter text box or in the grid itself) it should set the focus there, ready to edit (important point).

 

Not some kind of intermediary focus state where pasting will paste in the item field or any other previously selected field, and typing [space] will sometimes check some random Y/N field (happened a lot today, it's an easy mistake to be done, and it happens silently which is pretty dangerous.)

 

[If you need a screen capture to see what I mean I'll provide it]

 

2-  there's no warning when a user pastes data in several selected fields... It just pastes the data. And since there's no undo for that kind of action it's just... gone. One must rely on the latest backup to repair the mistake. IMO, it should be like entering data from the properties pane : if the modification will be applied to several items, a confirmation dialog should appear.
