Yes, I can see this happening with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514
It seems like some infinitive loop is occuring.

It's ok if you only post visible text, e.g.:
Tom Hanks ... Viktor Navorski

but if you try to insert text invisible in Normal View, e.g.:
<li>Tom Hanks ... Viktor Navorski</li>

then Composer hangs. (Does that make sense?)

[Pete Boyd]

I am constantly frustrated by this on Windows 2000 with 1.8a4. It doesn't just
require the middle-click as described in comment #1, I use Ctrl+V.

Confirming; setting OS to All, Severity to Major.
I think this should block 1.8

Possible dupe of Bug 204615

I can still see the hang, using:

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority and severity.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
