At Zeotrope (http://www.zoetrope.com/ you need a membership to chat which is
free) they use a flash based chatroom.  If one selects text in FB from a webpage
and tries to paste it into the chat room, it will not paste correctly.

For example:
  Copy: Log out and then log back in.
Pastes: ˆk

The text will paste correctly in other places, so I'm not sure if this is a
Flash bug.

If I copy text from IE, it'll paste correctly in the Flash chatroom running in FB.

If I copy text from FB, it'll paste correctly in the Flash chatroom running in IE.

As I said, I'm not sure where/if this is a FB issue.  I do have the latest Flash
plug-in installed on both FB and IE.  But I figured I'd post this and see if
anyone can look into the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Zoetrope Chat Room in FB
2. Copy some text from a web page in FB.
3. Try pasting it in the chat room.
