XMind 202204: Keyboard shortcut for pasting from clipboard

Since XMind 202204, the keyboard shortcut for pasting from clipboard does not work like it did before, at least in my Windows 10 2H20 based installation.

In previous versions, typing Ctrl + V pasted the text from clipboard into a new node below the current node. In 202204, typing Ctrl + V tries to add an image to the current node, which doesn't work if the clipboard holds a text. In contrast to this, the keyboard shortcuts in help center still show Ctrl + V as a shortcut for "Paste".

By try and error I found out that using Ctrl + Shift + V pastes text from clipboard, but only if the text contained in the node is in editing mode.

In comparison to the functionality in previous versions, this is more cumbersome for pasting text, if you're used to the old usage pattern. Regarding the shortcut itself, I'd consider the difference from help center a bug.

Is there any configuration means to reinstantiate the old usage pattern, or at least revert Ctrl + Shift + V to Ctrl + V ?

  My OS is Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2, not 2H20. Sorry for the typo.

  I also have this issue and making such a change is cumbersome and unnecessary. To me this is a bug in the application that should be fixed. We should not have to look for workarounds.

  I agree that this is a bug. It is extremely annoying as we now have to type in text rather than being able to paste in and create a new node, and introduces more possibility of errors. It was working before the last update!
