Property copy/paste bug in IDE

["Peter K. Stys" <pkstys@gmail.com>]

In your window, create this property:

w as WeakRef

now copy/paste it, you get:

w1 as WeakRef = 0   <- this fails to compile because you get type mismatch.

Easy to fix, just delete the 0 from the default value field.

Now create a computed property:

w as window

copy and paste it, you get:

w as window = 0

which fails to compile because of a syntax error (it's a computed property,
I guess that's the error?).  Problem is, computed properties don't have
default value fields that you can clear, so you're stuck and have to
manually re-enter/retype this computed property with all its Get/Set code.

I pasted dozens of copies of the same computed property thruout my app in my
attempt to move to WeakRefs to windows (see my previous thread why), only to
be faced with dozens of uncorrectable 'w as window = 0' computed property
declarations that failed to compile and could not be edited and fixed.  And
this was supposed to save me time...
