I just noticed this today, but it looks like it has been broken since late January.  I think this is Mac only (so filed as a Cocoa widget bug), since a Linux build from after this broke does not exhibit the problem.  Pasting via keyboard shortcuts into the location or search bar, textboxes in web pages, or anywhere else I thought to try still works.

Regression range: 2008-01-28 nightly works, 2008-01-29 14:42 hourly is broken.  Looking at the checkins for this range, I suspected the patch for bug #376077.  Backing this out locally on a recently trunk build (fixing up some rejects manually) fixes the problem, so this is definitely a regression caused by that patch.

For me this occurs on any window.prompt dialog as well.
I also see this in other "sheets" on Mac, for example, the new string dialog in about:config and the "make link" dialog in the new post page in Movable Type.

I suspect this is generalized to all sheets with text fields.

Shortcuts still don't work in file name text field in Browse For File dialogs.
That is bug 372571.
This bug persists in beta 4.
I don't see it in beta 4, please give specific repro steps if you do.
Specific steps to reproduce in beta 4 for Mac:

1. Copy text into clipboard.
2. Go to http://fedex.com/us/
3. Place cursor in box where you enter a tracking number.
4. Press Cmd-V. Nothing happens.
5. Go to Edit menu - Paste is grayed out
6. Right click in text box - context menu comes up and it does permit pasting contents of clipboard.
I don't know what is going on with that, but this bug is about pasting into auth dialogs (prompts). Perhaps file another bug on what you're seeing.
I file this as a separate bug for beta 3 and it was merged into this one. Should I refile? I'm not sure how to find my original report. I have deleted its number.
No, you shouldn't refile - it's right up the page here, bug 418265, reopened.
Another place I can't shortcut paste is the editor for Blogger posts.
It works in beta4, cmd+V in auth dialog box works
