Watch expressions

Just playing with v5.50 and noticed two things that I think (but can't definitely remember) are different from v5.00.

A watch expression cannot now start with a parenthesis so "x+y" evaluates OK but "(x+y)" produces an "Unable to evaluate expression" error. However "0+(x+y)" DOES evaluate correctly:confused:

Copy and paste don't work in Watch and Value fields. I am sure that before I could copy a complex expression from the source code and paste it into a Watch field - or do I misremember?

Another way is to combine the (still working) old part with the new way since only the insert has to be different.
In other words, you an do

Ctrl+C (Copy) and then Shift-Insert (Paste)
