Bug#563543: iceweasel uses multiple incompatible copy and paste buffers

[markhobley at yahoo.co.uk]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.6-3
Severity: normal
File: iceweasel

The iceweasel browser is using two incompatible copy and paste buffers. Drag
the mouse over a piece of text now select copy from the menu. (This should
now be on the clipboard). Now drag the mouse to select another piece of text.
The second piece of text should now be on the clipboard.

Now on a webpage that accepts input, from the browser menu, select edit, paste.
The first piece of text, which should have been overwritten by the second one
gets pasted, not the second one.

Mark.
