Bug in Win32Lib IDE - Paste

I've run into a problem pasting code in the Win32Lib IDE code editor. When 
pasting multiple lines of text, the program enters an infinite loop and 
freezes up.

The problem appears is in ide_edit.ew, around line 2272:

   hit = 1
   while hit do

       for i=1 to length(s) do
           hit=0
           ...
       end for
   end while

In the '...' portion, two things happen:

   1. hit = 1
   2. s = ""

As a result, when it falls out of the for loop, it never re-enters it, but 
never exits the while loop.

Setting the flag outside the loop (as is done in other parts of the code) 
seems to take care of the problem:

       hit=0
       for i=1 to length(s) do

Thanks!
