I’m using: SWI-Prolog version 8.1.9 on Windows 8.1.

When you type `Ctrl-F` to activate the graphical debuggers “find in source” feature, if you paste some text from the clipboard it goes into the source cdoe document instead of being treated as a search string. This happens whether or not the the debugger is in _edit-mode_ or _read-only_ mode.
