Do > you maybe have an idea what's the reason for this happening? I have had similar problems with copying and editing watches in 9.2.1 on Linux, and I have found a few things that help. When copying, I have had more success copying the text of the watch from the information view of the watch I intend to copy rather than using the copy button. When editing, I have found that making sure there are spaces between parenthesis and anything else - like REAL ( ATTRIBUTE ) rather than REAL(ATTRIBUTE).
