Details

On my system (MacOS 10.2.8, Camino 2004121208), I cannot drag a text clipping to
a textarea (like this one).  When I try, Camino tries and fails to open the
clipping as an HTML file.  It works in Firefox, which makes this a
Camino-specific problem.
Hmmm.. if I drag the text off of camino (say the content of comment 0) and then
drag it right back to the same page it seems to work ok, but if I then try and
drag it to another page, or visit another page and then hit back it fails in all
cases.
Oh!  I didn't try that case.  But I can't get it to work at all, now that I
have--could depend on the OS version.
I see the same thing as comment 0 using Camino 2004121208 (v0.8+) on Mac OS X
10.3.6.  

I dragged comment 0 to my desktop and then tried to drag it into this text field
(with and without the text field having focus), I get the "green plus" and then
Camino attempts to load the clipping as if it were a page.

Indeed, Firefox grabs the text from the clipping, as expected.

Oh, wait, is this a specific sub-case of bug 225862?  I think it is but would
prefer a second opinion....

Looks like it to me--marked as duplicate.

I don't understand how this is a duplicate of 225862. That bug tracks the
problem of drag-n-drop within a TEXTAREA. This bug tracks the problem of
dragging clippings from external applications into TEXTAREA or INPUT elements.
If anything, this is a duplicate of 168378.

Because bug 225862 tracks text areas not being registered as drop zones
