[v2020.1/macOS 10.15.3] "Convert selection" not working in read-only request/response panels

Manuel | Last updated: Feb 04, 2020 08:38PM UTC

In the latest 2020.1 version running on macOS installed with the .dmg installer and/or updated with the updater, the "Convert selection" menu item will not let one convert the selection inside the read-only request/response panes to anything, such as URL-encode/decode, base64, .. In the previous versions, a toolwindow would open instead, with the possibility to convert the selection inside the toolwindow again, repeatedly. Diagnostics => https://pastebin.com/raw/bAMJVnwN
