#Dashboard crashes and reloads when pasting any text into data editor via Win + V

When manually editing a data field in the Convex dashboard, pasting any text using the Windows Clipboard Manager (Win + V) causes the dashboard to crash, force a page reload, and display an unrelated deployment error toast. The issue is triggered regardless of the text content or formatting. Standard pasting (Ctrl + V) works perfectly.

Environment:

OS: Windows 11

Browser: Vivaldi

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the Convex dashboard and navigate to a table's data view.

Attempt to manually edit a data field.

Open the Windows clipboard manager by pressing Win + V.

Select and paste any text item from the clipboard history into the input field.

Expected Behavior:
The text should paste normally into the field, identical to the behavior of Ctrl + V.

Actual Behavior:
The dashboard crashes and the page forcefully refreshes. Upon reloading, an unrelated error toast appears in the top right corner stating:

"A default personal dev deployment already exists for this project. Provide a reference to create an additional one."

Additional Context:
Because standard pasting (Ctrl + V) works without issue, the bug seems to be caused by how the frontend input component handles the specific synthetic paste or input events fired by the OS-level Windows Clipboard UI. The deployment error toast is likely a side-effect of the app losing its context/state during the unexpected forced reload.
