Nikki added a comment.
I noticed that the dropdown is the same one used for monolingual text
languages and - indeed - the one for monolingual text has the same problem with
the language code not being detected on middle click paste. Although,
thankfully, it's much less destructive there, since it doesn't allow saving
when it thinks a field is empty.
It can lose changes to the language though if you edit an existing statement.
When the field is blank, it uses the initial value, so if you make some other
change to the statement and you change the language by deleting the language
and middle click pasting the new code, it won't save the change to the code.
It seems the input field only reacts to keydown events and naturally a middle
click paste does not trigger a keydown event. I tried running
`$(".ui-suggester-input").on("input", function () { this.dispatchEvent(new
Event("keydown")); });` in the console (after clicking edit, before doing
anything else) and that made it behave as expected for me - so perhaps it
should be reacting to input events instead of keydown events?
