Status: NEW

Description

Some child nodes are lost when pasting a list (<ol> <ul> etc) into a list or list-item.  All children that are not list items or lists are removed:

(on line 592)

We should probably try to insert them with InsertNodeAtPoint and if that
fails break out of the loop and fall into the generic insert to handle
the remaining children a few lines below...

PLATFORMS AND BUILDS TESTED
Bug occurs in Firefox 3.0.8pre and 3.2a1pre on Linux
