First off, the Edit:Paste "issue" is reproducible under Windows, too.
But I wanted to notice one thing. The "Edit" menu behaviour cannot be regarded
a bug. Actually, this is the way it should be: Edit menu describes actions that
should be performed in edited document, not in some other auxiliary windows
(such as Find toolbar edit box). The same goes for Edit->Select All, etc. (you
wouldn't expect bringing another Find toolbar to search within first Find edit
box when you select Edit->Find while inside find toolbar?)
Thus, this must not be "fixed", as suggested in comment 53.

The problem is that both main menu (controlling main edit area) and context
menu (controlling currently active widget) have the same accelerators listed.
But in other OSes, the context menu accelerators have priority, while under
OSX, main menu has.
Thus, this looks to be a clear OSX-only bug.
On other OSes, there is only visual ambiguity, when one has focus in Find (or
any other auxiliary) box, clicks Edit menu and sees all those shortcuts listed
there, thus has impression that they will act on document, while actually the
shortcuts would work inside the auxuliary window. Well, this is just cosmetic.
Under OSX, this is really a problem, things don't work as expected. And THE way
to fix this would be to DISABLE all Main Menu accelerators while caret is
outside the main edit window, and restore them on entry. Of course, this could
also be done on other OSes, to remove the visual ambiguity (so, when outside
the main edit area, (some) main menu entries would not have accelerators listed
next to them). This would fix all the mess, without need to break normal
operation of Main menu.
