What
Sometimes Claude asks you a question with a list of answers to pick from. The list includes an "Other" option, where you type your own answer instead. That "Other" box now accepts text pasted while you are on a different row of the list, and it also has its own handling for pastes while it is selected.
Why
Pasting a free-text answer now works from more places in the question, so you are less likely to paste and see nothing happen.
