Sometimes when I intend to copy text from a field in the editor, unreal copies all the text that defines the node itself.
Occasionally this happens when I intend to copy and paste a directory path into a save dialog such as the Merge Actor dialog. If the pasted text happens to be and longer than 1024 characters, the engine will instantly crash even before pressing enter to confirm the text as a path.

Steps to Reproduce
1) Select an actor and copy it with ctrl + c. Make sure it is not too simple as the copied text must exceed 1024 characters.
2) Go to the menu “Actor > Merge Actros” and open the Merge tool
3) Click on the folder path at the top of the dialog edit the text, and ctrl + v the copied node text into the field. The editor should crash instantly if it’s enough text.
Hi,
It should be simple enough to emit a more friendly warning when path length is too long; I’ll get that checked in and share a CL with you once it’s available.
Best,
Cody
This fix is now checked in at CL# 57683276. Thanks for the report!
