Yes, I can replicate it. The notes field has a context menu which overrides the menu bar Edit. On MacOS X that prevents the Menu Bar Edit from operating and since the Cmd-V is a shortcut for the Menu Bar Edit blocks that, too. It’s one of the unfortunate mismatches between OS X and Gtk+.

The work-around is to use the context menu, which is accessed by control-click and its equivalents for two-button mice and trackpads.
