The current behaviour of the website is to throw away all text entered up to that point of time, and then open a web page using the contents of the clipboard as a URL. This is a downright mis-feature. Middle mouse should only work when hovering over a link, and even then it should open a new tab.

I don't mind so much having to ^C^V to copy text, but to lose data through doing the normal paste action is very frustrating.

    The text editor we use is based on the CodeMirror editor, and it has an open issue for this: https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/931 There had been an open Firefox Linux bug report but that has been resolved now, so this may be fixed in CodeMirror at some point in the future. We'll keep an eye on it.

      Just tried it! Thank you very much. You wouldn't believe just how much
      aggrevation this has caused.
