[macOS] Cannot paste text in the OS menu bar "Help" search

-

*Reproduction steps:*
# Open a new project
# Click on the OS menu bar item "Help" at the top of the screen
# Paste any text

{*}Expected result{*}: Text is pasted in

{*}Actual result{*}: Text is not pasted in

{*}Note{*}: Pasting works on other applications and Unity Hub, it only does not work with the Unity Editor window

 

Reproduced on:
MacOS - Sonoma 14.0
MacOS - Ventura 13.6

  1. Resolution Note:

    Unfortunately, this help feature provided by macOS is not very helpful in general for Unity, because it would require us to format all the help documents to Apple's new-ish format. Right now, copy paste and select all go right through to the application, based on the custom routing we do, and there is no easy way to fix it without rewriting our entire menu routing system.

    For a workaround that gets you all the help you need and more, please try Command+K to open up the Search Window, which will allow you to paste a term and get the menu item you were looking for.
