Yeah, it’s an ugly option. You can paste into a filename field and then use a
window button to save/export/load/etc. but it doesn’t actually become fully
functional at any point, so no backspace, cursor, …. The fact that the drawing
text tool does work suggests that the keyboard interaction problem is localized
specifically to the dialogs, but I’m not sure what’s going on there.

No, this particular item is broken for everybody. Hopefully we can scare up a
fix. It might be worth filing a ticket on
https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/mcj/tickets/>
, which pertains to this newer xfig. I haven’t tried to use it for anything in
15 years, though, so I’m probably not a good person to do that.
