Description

[Vincent Lefevre]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: 

As documented in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Middlemouse.paste, I've set middlemouse.paste to true to be able to paste with the middle button, but this has no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set middlemouse.paste to true.
2. Copy something to the clipboard.
3. Middle-click over an editable text field.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The contents of the clipboard should be pasted, like under Linux.

This is a problem with both Firefox 2.0.0.6 and yesterday's Minefield
nightly, and so (presumably) with both Cocoa widgets and Mac widgets.

MacOS X doesn't have a clipboard for primary selection.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSPasteboard_Class/Reference/Reference.html

So, we should use global clipboard for the middle paste.

# And we should get rid of #ifdef from the nsEditorEventHandler.cpp.

Please use do_GetService("@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;1", &rv).
