User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

cannot paste in front of 1st character of paragraph in html message compose window in tb150 if copy is of text in tbird. text from other applications paste fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
[1] start tb150
[2] open new html message compose window
[3] enter one character
- the number of chars or words or lines in any para is NOT a deciding factor. enter as many as you wish.
[4] select & copy the one char from item [3]
- the number chars or words or lines of the copy is NOT a deciding factor
[5] place the cursor in front of char entered in [3]
[6] attempt to paste there
- use ctrl-v or edit/paste or rtl-clk/paste
Actual Results:  
nothing is pasted.

Expected Results:  
current clipboard contents should have been pasted at current cursor location.

- if you copy text from another application, paste works as expected.
- for this purpose, paragraph is defined any collection of words that wraps in the window OR that ends with an <enter>.
- if you enter multiple words, the problem only exists in front of the 1st char of the paragraph.
- if you enter multiple paras, the problem exits in front of the 1st char of EACH para.
- the problem does NOT exist at any other position in the document.
