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. File: Test.html <html> <head> <title>Textarea and input drag and drop bug</title> </head> <body> <p>Drag and drop text from a textarea to another (or from a input), and see that it <strong>copies</strong> the text, even without holding down the <em>ctrl</em> key.

Expected Results: The text dragged and dropped (without holding the ctrl key) should actually being moved.
