[R-SIG-Mac] Pasting Code in Editor has Wrong Colors

[Brandon Hurr]

Ok, small, but important, further update.

When you paste something as plain text in the editor, it does in fact
work, but my mistake was that I pasted as normal first and then tried
to paste as plain second. It was still using the colors of the
previous paste.

Sorry for the noise, it does work.
