User double-clicks on password text (e.g. in an email message) and then copies it.  When they paste to a password field, it fails because of a leading space that was also copied.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click on text to select it.
2. Copy.
3. Paste to another location.  It includes a leading space, which is problematic for account name, password, and similar uses.


Expected Results:  
Why copy the leading space?  If this is necessary for some reason, then paste should be 'smart' about whether it includes the leading space, or not.
