If pasting more, system hangs-up (total freeze)(only on one computer tested). Maybe buffer overflow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open page such as http://www.mozilla.org/ 2.write some text in text input field (e.g. <input id="q" name="q" accesskey="s" size="30" type="text">) 3.copy-paste that text (press Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert for some tome) Actual Results: After 6000 - 7000 chars (1024 * 6[7]) - http://www.stu3-14.id.lv/img/pic1.jpg After more - system hang-up on one of computers. On other - nothing other than before. Expected Results: Nothing or cut the text to normal length.
