Description Susan McCourt CLA 2011-05-25 23:57:16 EDT 
Lately I'm finding the positioning of text after a paste to be very annoying and context-losing.  I don't know if it's changed recently or if it's different in FF4, or...

If I have, say, a 4-line paste buffer, and I paste it into a visible area, the editor shifts so that the last line of the paste buffer is at the top of the editor.  So I can't see what I just pasted and I can't see my reference point.

I get this behavior when I paste text at the bottom of the editor and the editor has to scroll to show the last line (where the caret is).  It should not scroll to the top, it should scroll so that the last line is flush at the bottom of the editor.

This happens on Chrome as well.
