Copying part of URL copies entire URL in GUI - how to avoid?

Not sure if other see it as an improvement, but it is a seriously annoing feature in 1.7.1.
I open the merge dialog, and when I copy/paste different paths in it, what is being pasted is not the text I selected but entire URL.
Steps:
1) Select a version path, and Merge/Tag command from TSVN menu
2) The dialog shows, at the top, "From WS/URL:" and the full path/url of the selected path
3) Hightlight a part of it, and paste into another part of the dialog ("To Path", "Log Message", etc) - it will paste entire URL, and not the text you selected.

It's annoyng, because... let me show an example.
I have "from URL" like "https://YYY.sourcerepo.com/yyy/CRMAppsOnDemand/common/readme.txt"
I need to merge it to another project, with path of "/common/commonLib/trunk/CommonLib"
I highlight "/CRMAppsOnDemand/common/readme.txt", copy and paste it to append to the "To Path", and it results in ...
"/common/commonLib/trunk/CommonLibhttps://YYY.sourcerepo.com/yyy/CRMAppsOnDemand/common/readme.txt" - and I need edit this nonsense now. (And my real paths are longer, by the way).
It worked before: what you selected and copied was what you pasted.

I could not find any setting that controls this behaviour.
Any suggestions?
