How do I copy and paste tiles? (new beta update)

So in the new beta release r208 it says:

[quote:3208qvbx]Tilemap editor: can now hold shift+right click while dragging over a range of tiles, and the tilemap editor will select all the tiles from the start tile to the end tile. Useful for selecting patches to stamp out again.

I feel silly because I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is anyone else able to use this? I try doing what it says, holding shift+right click while dragging over some tiles I have already placed but it doesn't seem to do it--it doesn't look like it's selecting anything as I drag and it just brings up the usual right click dialog when i get to the end of dragging and release shift and right click....

Same issue here.

Just tested with r219 and this functionality works.

Here is an animated gif of it in action:

Ahh, I see, you have to engage the tilemap editor first and then it works. I was thinking it might have copied ALL of the tiles that were selected rather than just one for each in the editor, but still useful.
