Thanks for reporting. @steff456, please take a look at this one.

[steff456]

I'm not able to reproduce this error neither on mac or in linux

[ccordoba12]

I reproduced it very simply, when snippets are activated. Simply copy some text in your clipboard, then select plt.plot and paste your text on the first snippet with Ctrl+V. That should generate the error.

I am also unable to reproduce this one

[ccordoba12]

@dalthviz, please try to replicate this one to see if it's still an error in master. It's weird because I could replicate it as soon as it came up.

[dalthviz]

@ccordoba12 I couldn't reproduce this neither. However another error seems present (when trying to paste 1 for the code snippet of plot([x], [y], label=[str]), visible at the end of the following gif):

[ccordoba12]

Ok, please take a look at that error instead.

This has not been reported anymore. Closing then.
