We experience the same problem with this web content editor:
http://editor.hardcoreinternet.co.uk/hardcore/webeditor/index.html

I think this bug is important and should be given high priority. Mozilla and
Mozilla Firefox is gaining support in web content management systems etc. with
WYSIWYG editing of content using iframe/designMode. As copy & paste from Word is
an important feature of such systems this bug significantly limits Mozilla
Firefox's usability.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
