when trying to paste text in the wysiwig editor from a standard
www.myyellowpad.com account, shift-insert passes through the security check,
while ctrl-v is blocked (with a popup explaning why)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create an account on www.myyellowpad.com
2.create a page, the an entry
3.paste text with successively ctrl-v and shift-insert



Expected Results:  
i would expect the same result from shift-insert and ctrl-v
Invalid, this is a MyYellowPad issue. Their code explicitly traps ctrl-key
combinations to run their own processing. They trap Ctrl-v (paste) for their own
purposes, but they forgot about shift-insert so it passes through to the
underlying edit control which then does the built-in paste action.
