Random speculation. Paste-from-clipboard is a read-line function. Being line-oriented, it's perhaps even by design that it opens the clipboard, gets only one line from it, and inserts that into the editing buffer. Middle-mouse, on the other hand, is producing a stream of input events for the window being pasted to. The app being pasted to doesn't know the difference between middle-mouse and a user typing really fast. > Randall Schulz > Mountain View, CA USA Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer. Patriot. stephan(); Geek.
