Art I agree. That was my problem. I still find it odd that I have to create a hidden field (better than off-screen, as Doug Ivers noted) as a roundabout to make this work but I guess it would not be a high priority change if we requested the feature. Also, having to write at least three lines of code (put variable into field; select text of field; copy) where one will do is pretty weak. The same thing happens for paste.
