Copy and paste clipboard issue while javascript is active.

Hi.
I was redirected from here: luanti-org/contentdb#292

As far as I'm aware, pasting text using the middle-mouse is not standard browser behaviour. Usually, middle-mouse click is reserved for scrolling or opening links in a new tab/window. Some Linux distros allow it, but it is far from universal.

EasyMDE does not handle any copy-paste events, these are sent down to the CodeMirror editor.

I found these reported issues that discuss the topic:

• Paste by using middle click in firefox not working codemirror/codemirror5#931 (Links to an open Firefox bug)
• CodeMirror too eager at capturing (middle-click) paste events codemirror/codemirror5#4900 (Links to a Chrome bug, but it is not public)

You should have a look on https://codemirror.net/ (current editor in use) or https://codemirror.net/6/ (future version) to see if it works there.

tldr: there's nothing that can be changed about it in EasyMDE.

Ehm.. no, that is the default behaviour of the primary clipboard in probably all distributions:

Also I have never had this issue on any other editor, no matter if js is enabled or not, while using firefox and I use this thing for nearly 15 years now.

I see.
Thx anyway.
