        Possible bug/shortcoming, or maybe just incorrect online manual info:

        I occasionally use the Column Editor Dialog, but looks like a few things have changed since I last used it. First of all, not sure if this is new or not, but the dialog’s title bar says “Column / Multi-Selection Editor”, while the online manual appears (at a glance, anyway) to only address its use for columnar editing.

        In the dialog, there is a field for “Repeat”. The manual states, “Repeat will repeat the same number n times. Defaults to 1 if left blank.” I do not recall ever having to deal with that field at all before, but when using it in v8.9.3, it won’t allow me to leave it blank.
