I copied & pasted some text from Yahoo Groups (neo) into TB

Then I Ctrl-C cut some, and wanted to Ctrl-V paste it back in a different location.

Nothing gets pasted.

BUT if I use the menu EDIT/ paste without reformatting then it DOES paste.

Really want to use the shortcut.

Ctrl+Shift +V then.

Sounds like There is formatting in there Thunderbird does not understand, or javascript, which is simply not allowed.
