Details

Pasting text into the mail composer using mouse-button 2 doesn't end up at
either the location of the text cursor or the mouse pointer.  This also occurs
in text input forms in the browser, but I don't see how to report the same bug
for two components in Bugzilla.

Reproducing the bug:
* Open Mail composer (plaintext mode -- I haven't tested HTML mode)
* Enter several lines of text; for example:
  1
  2
  3
  4

* Leave the text cursor below the last line of text.
* Open an xterm and type some text at the command prompt, for example:
  foo
* Select the text in the xterm using mouse-button 1.  Place the mouse pointer to
the right of the "3" in the compose menu, and press mouse-button 2.  I get:
  1
  2foo
  3
  4* With longer messages, the pasted text can appear many lines away from the
mouse or cursor.  Despite some experimentation, I can't find any pattern to the
location Mozilla chooses.
