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.
