307950 - Highlight/move text does not delete source content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101542

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Göran A]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When highlighting text and then by left mouse button moves the selected text
into a new location (could be to another text box etc.) the source text is not
deleted. The "move" has instead acted as "duplicate". 

In all other application I have used the source text is "moved" to the new
destination, meaning that the text is deleted on that location it comes from
(source location).  I find this behavior a bit annoying and would be happy to
see this taken care of :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight text in a text box or form.
2. By using left mouse button, move it into a new text box or field.
3. Source location and the new location have the same text.

Actual Results:  
Source location and the new location have the same text.

Expected Results:  
Source location should not include the "moved" text.
