It is no longer possible to copy content from one tab with selecting it and
using middle mouse paste to paste it into another tab. 

1. Highlight some text.
2. Switch tabs and try to paste that text using middle mouse.

Text isn't pasted. This is not busted in branch.

This regressed pretty recently. I'm going to try and find out what check-in
caused it. Could be related to bug 307256.

For what it's worth, my buld that has the patch for bug 306262 in it does not
show this bug...

Can you give me a 24-hour or less regression range to work with?
Agreed. Backing out the patch for bug 306262 doesn't solve this for me either. I
did verify that this regressed sometime between 2005-09-05 05:00 and 2005-09-06
06:00, though. http://tinyurl.com/9l6v3

Any JS console errors with showInConsole set?
So... my patch in bug 307256 seems to fix this for me, if I understood the bug
correctly...

Yeah. I just verified that the patch for bug 307256 does indeed fix this. :)

It's broken even if you switch tabs and then switch back to the same one, so
resummarizing slightly.
