[SOLVED] Pasting/Replacing a character using mouse selection in Java textfield (with specified character limit)

I have extended DocumentFilter class to limit the number of characters to be entered to the specified number in text field. Here's my SSCE:

Main class:

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;

public class Sandbox implements Runnable {
    private JFrame frame;
    private JTextField inputField;
    private JButton searchButton; 
    private int MAX_CHAR_LIMIT = 1;

    public Sandbox() {
        inputField = new JTextField(); 
        inputField.setColumns(10);
        inputField.setFont(new Font(null, Font.BOLD, 20));
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        frame = new JFrame("SSCE");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 300));

        PlainDocument doc = (PlainDocument) inputField.getDocument();
        doc.setDocumentFilter(new DocumentCharLimitFilter(MAX_CHAR_LIMIT));
        frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        frame.getContentPane().add(inputField);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Sandbox());
    }

}

DocumentCharLimitFilter class

import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.DocumentFilter;

public class DocumentCharLimitFilter extends DocumentFilter {

    private int MAX_CHAR_LIMIT;

    public DocumentCharLimitFilter(int maxChars) {
        this.MAX_CHAR_LIMIT = maxChars;
    }

    // You don't need insertString() when entering text in JTextField. 
    @Override
public void replace(FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length, String newText, AttributeSet aSet) throws BadLocationException {
    int oldTextLength = fb.getDocument().getLength();
    String oldText = fb.getDocument().getText(0, oldTextLength);
    String combinedText = oldText + newText;        

    if (combinedText.length() <= MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
        super.replace(fb, offset, length, newText, aSet);

        // paste characters upto maximum allowed limit 
    } else if (oldTextLength < MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
        int cutPosition = MAX_CHAR_LIMIT - oldTextLength;
        String cutToFit = newText.substring(0, cutPosition);
        super.replace(fb, offset, length, cutToFit, aSet);

    } else {
        System.out.println("Character limit of " + MAX_CHAR_LIMIT + " exceeded.");
    }
}
}

When I fire up the above program and try to paste some new character on top of existing character using Ctrl+V, it takes me to else loop of replace() method of DocumentCharLimitFilter and I get:

Character limit of 1 exceeded.

From what I understand through all this, the new character that I am pasting using mouse and Ctrl+V is taken as additional character on top of existing character and I get the above message. When I use keyboard to input characters, it works just fine. If I increase the MAX_CHAR_LIMIT to 2, I can paste in the text but now when I give input from keyboard, I am able to input two characters which I don't want.

How do I make the above code such that it works like normal pasting on top of existing text and replacing it, using Ctr + V and still limiting the keyboard characters to the specified limit? I am a beginner to Java. If I need to provide any information, I would be glad to do so. Thank you.

Update: @camickr, @VGR thank you so much! I didn't pay attention to the length argument in replace() method. This is what I did in DocumentCharLimitFilter class:

@Override
public void replace(FilterBypass fb, int offset, int length, String newText, AttributeSet aSet) throws BadLocationException {
    System.out.println(fb.getClass());
    int oldTextLength = fb.getDocument().getLength();
    String oldText = fb.getDocument().getText(0, oldTextLength);
    String combinedText = oldText + newText;

    if (combinedText.length() <= MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
        super.replace(fb, offset, length, newText, aSet);

        // paste characters upto maximum allowed limit 
    } else if (oldTextLength < MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
        int cutPosition = MAX_CHAR_LIMIT - oldTextLength;
        String cutToFit = newText.substring(0, cutPosition);
        super.replace(fb, offset, length, cutToFit, aSet);

        // NEW CODE 
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42512743/pasting-replacing-a-character-using-mouse-selection-in-java-textfield-with-spec
        // length indicates number of characters highlighted using mouse or keyboard. This will work only when 
        // the entire text is highlighted (if entire text is not highlighted, it would get complicated)
        // and when it is highlighted, I make sure that the new text to be pasted is within limits of the MAX_CHAR_LIMIT
    } else if (length == MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
        String correctedString = newText;
        if (newText.length() > MAX_CHAR_LIMIT) {
            correctedString = newText.substring(0, MAX_CHAR_LIMIT);
        }
        super.replace(fb, offset, length, correctedString, aSet);

    } else {
        System.out.println("Entered characters exceed specified limit of " + MAX_CHAR_LIMIT + "exceeded.");
    }
}
