Apache NetBeans 17

### What happened

I have a project in Netbeans (can be Java project or C project)
I copy something, for instance, a name of a variable.

I right click on project name and choose "Find" and I try to paste the name of the variable.
But paste does not work on pop windows such as "Find"
(Paste works inside the editor window)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the clipboard failure in the Find popup from a Java or C project on NetBeans 17 with JDK 15 on macOS Ventura, confirming that paste still works in the editor. Compare the behavior of the project-name Find dialog with the editor, and consider the issue complete when copied text can be pasted into the affected popup.
