One thing that I find quite annoying about Version 7 is that the regular copy and paste functions from the context menu no longer work in many situations. I'm so used to using the context menu that I keep falling into this trap. Then Helen Read kindly and patiently reminds me that I should use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V instead and that appears to work properly. But both methods should work equally well and I hope this behavior is restored in the next update. One feature of Inline Cells is that they have the characteristic ShowStringCharacters -> True. But I consider an Inline Cell as more or less equivalent to an Input or Output Cell. After all, they can be evaluated. So why shouldn't they have the same characteristics as Input/Output cells, and specifically have ShowStringCharacters -> False?
