The web sites are internal to my company, and include a wiki editor and some web-based software development tools. I can paste directly with Ctrl-V but not with right-click Paste, which brings up a supplementary box.

The box in the wiki editor says: Because of your browser security settings, the editor is not able to access your clipboard data. You need to paste it again in this window. Paste into the following box using Ctrl+V on your keyboard and click OK.

The box in another web application says: Your browser security blocks pasting directly from the clipboard. Press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on MAC) to paste below.
