How to cut/paste file path in Mac os file open dialog?

Pressing CMD-SHIFT-G opens a "Go to the folder" dialog. But it is not possible to paste the path into the text area.

I have verified the path is in the clipboard - it pastes properly in other apps. I tried Edit | paste and Command-V and Control-V and whatever else i could think of. No dice.

The menu items are working fine: i can even go to the "View clipboard" and it works as shown in the screenshot.

If copy-pasting into the Go to folder dialog fails, try restarting Finder.

You can do it by running killall Finder in a Terminal window, or holding alt while right-clicking the Finder icon and choosing Relaunch.
