Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 228688

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Colin Ruthven]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016

When replying to email or composing a new email paste of text fails when cursor
is at very start of document. If document is empty (as in a new email) the paste
succeeds. As soon as text is already there, the paste will fail. Moving cursor
anywhere else and allows a paste to work. This also occurred with 1.4 and also
using the 1.5 version on a Windows 98 SE machine.
If line 1 of the existing document is empty, the paste will succeed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose an email.
2.Enter some text. Line 1 must have text in it.
3.Use CTL-Home or move curor by mouse or keyboard to the start of the document
4.Paste clipboard data.
5. Watch nothing happen.

Actual Results:  
No text was pasted.

Expected Results:  
Clipboard data (text previously cut or copied) should have appeared.

dupe of a (newer) bug that is getting a lot more attention -- "Unable to paste
html to beginning of node"
