      Drop a button
      Copy it
      Drop an anchor pane
      Then:

      1. Double click inside the anchor pane to get the orange ring
          Right click to get the context menu: No context menu appear, no paste action available! However the MenuBar > Edit > Paste is enabled (which is correct).

      2. Select the anchor pane
          Right click to get the context menu: Paste is available, but it pastes the button as a sibling of the Anchor Pane (which is correct - but confusing for the user, since he sees no way to paste the button inside the anchor pane.

      I think 1. must be fixed. There should be a context menu even if Paste is the only available action.
      Regarding 2. maybe we should resurrect the 'Paste Into' action?
