When copying text (Ctrl-C) from a web page, sometimes text will not be placed in
the clipboard (cannot be pasted).  The problem is temporarily fixed by copying
from another application and pasting.  I'm guessing this clears the corrupted
contents of the clipboard.  This problem has been around for quite a while but
seems to be more severe in the 1.5 beta 1 release. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Highlight web page text.
2.  Copy text
3.  Try to paste in the URL box

Actual Results:  
Sometimes paste works... other times nothing is pasted

Expected Results:  
paste the copied text
