Describe the bug
While sending a request the token disappears in version 2020.3.0 for Mac. Till yesterday it worked correct but today it updated automatically and this bug appeared. I tried also manually download and install from site. The bug is not gone.

I tried to request to get user information from my secured endpoint. So, I have to provide access token in header as bearer token (JWT). After sometime time (2-3 seconds) the token that I pasted disappears. Both in Auth and in header section.

In this screenshot we can see that bearer token is sent correct.

Hi @UUsmonov! This may be related to #2354, there seems to be a bug where paste doesn't persist the text.

As a workaround, if you paste your code, add a space and remove it (to trigger a save), that should work. Please let me know if that works for you!

In the meantime, marking this as high priority, we'll aim to get a fix out soon. πŸ€—

Same on the Ubuntu 18.04

Same on Window 10

Same on Windows 10. header values are disappearing.

Same here on Manjaro Linux. Can not use.

Same on Linux mint 18 and macOS Mojave.

Made a small gif, maybe that helps to understand how to reproduce it. Copy and pasting seems to not work correctly.

Anyone wanting to downgrade because of issues here is the link

@oscarmeanwell thanks for that link!

Don't forget to turn off auto update otherwise you'll be upgraded again as soon as you open it.

for those looking for a workaround:

- click the field and type something;
- click out of the field;
- click the field again and paste your content right after the content typed;
- click out of the field and it should work;
- then just clean the previosly typed content;

I tried to paste right before the typed chracters, same fail.

I'm seeing this as well.
It also happens when I paste in the environment JSON

The workaround suggested by @alexislopes seems to work

We are currently looking into it πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ

Sorry for any issues this has caused πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Similar issue, when pasting anything into the query field, after like 10 seconds it reverts back to the previous value it you sit and stare at it

EDIT: MacOs latest

Also if we start to type some variable name, e then when the list of variable is showed, if we click on that it doesn’t work

Also having this issue with the latest update that I did today. It was the source of a lot of headaches. Consider this a vote to get this fixed ASAP! Thank you!

Looks like we have found the root cause to be a recently merged PR, we are currently working on a fix. πŸ™

Same problem! Token disapear, no store env variables.

Hi @develohpanda thank for your fast feedback.
I'm sorry that I haven't answer immediately. Since it didn't work for me I had to downgrade to version 2020.2.2.
I was in hurry because I had to test my RestApi.

I'm sorry that I haven't answer immediately. Since it didn't work for me I had to downgrade to version 2020.2.2.

No worries! Thank you for your report! It has been fixed in 2020.3.3 so you should be okay to upgrade now. 😊
