#180 copy/replace vector erratic behavior
[Version 2.0] When I have tried to use the copy/replace
vector commands in the Annotate tab, it rarely works.
I create a vector I want to copy and click copy vector.
Wordcorr asks if I really want to do this (with the
vector I want showing up nicely in the dialog box),
then after I say yes usually what happens instead of
replacing is that it keeps the old vector as is and
erases the vector on the line I am copying from! So it
is more like a "cut" than "copy", and even then it only
might work once.

Addendum: I have tried this on different computers and
different collections, and have narrowed down the triggering
environment: As long as you exclusively click on the
buttons, the feature seems to work fine. But if you try to
use the keyboard shortcuts (Alt-v for paste vector, Alt-y
for Yes), it stops working. Bad for someone like me who
doesn't like to lift his hands off the keyboard and move the
mouse around.

Addendum2: Specifically the problem is Alt-v. If I manually
click on the Paste Vector button, and then do Alt-y for yes,
it still works.
