A small issue but a persistent one: Since the early days of Illustrator I've been unable to copy a line of text from the artboard directly into the 'save as' dialog box when at the point of saving my work. Reason being the filename is always present in the documents I create for my clients and it seems unwieldy to type it out twice.

(nb I can work around it (but it's cumbersome)—and that is to copy>paste>copy again the text using the find and replace window)

From the screenshot I'd assume you're on a Mac.

I can reproduce the problem on my CS6 installation. It seems to be a buggy implementation of the text copy procedure. If I select a line of text and copy it, I can't paste it in the Save dialog.

If after copying, I deselect the text by just clicking on it (getting the blinking cursor back), the text can be pasted.
