Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 HoboPrimate]:
 > So I think I've narrowed this bug to be an interaction between Browse
 and Write.[[BR]]
 > If you copy a piece of text from a webpage in Browse with Ctrl+C or the
 Copy Button, the text will be pasted fine if you use Ctrl+V or Paste
 Button, but not if you drag from the clipboard frame.

 Abiword fails to accept the drop. Logs:
