It still does. I copy table t1 in schema public, and paste it in schema
s1. If a table named t1 already exists in schema s1, I can click OK or
Cancel, if there's nothing in the textbox, it keeps asking me about a
prefix.

Nope, I still have the issue.

Still fails.

Well, I don't pretend we shouldn't offer the possibility to copy a
table, and paste it into another database. You can already do this with
the "Copy a table" item. I don't think we should keep the dialog. All
actions done from a right click happens in one database, and I don't
think we should change this behaviour.

I also don't think we should keep the icon in the toolbar.

That's not an explanation. Why do you use colors?

Yeah, but that's not the point. Your patch adds code in it that is
specific to your dialog (for example, "frmCopyTables *frm =
(frmCopyTables *)copytables;"). I don't think this is a good design.
Maybe someone will need something like the new code in this file in the
future, and it should be able to do it without having to fuss with a
frmCopyTable object.

I don't feel comfortable with this.

If I click in a database in the copy window, it opens the connection to
this database in the browser. So, if the user deconnects in the browser,
the copy window still shows the connection as alive, but we cannot see
any tables. It's really weird. It will confuse users.

That doesn't explain the code. Or IOW, I still don't understand the
code.

I still have crashes from time to time while doing a copy.
