User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Drag and drop text from a textarea to another (or from a input), and see that it
copies the text, even without holding down the ctrl key. The correct behavior
should be to move the text normally and copy it only if the ctrl key is being
pressed.

Keywords: form, input, text field, drag and drop, copy, move


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.	Copy the Test.html file (listed below) to your local system.
2.	Load the Test.html file in Firefox.
3.	Now Drag the text from a textarea (or input text) to another textarea (or
input text) 
	holding down the ctrl key, and see the pointer change from a move icon to a
copy icon
	and see the text copied in the field where you dragged it. (which is correct)
4. 	Now Drag the text but this time without holding the ctrl key.
5.	See how the text is copied to that textarea even if the browser should
actually move it.

field to another.
