>>>Here's a weird one. I have several edit boxes where this happens. I click in the box, press Ctrl-V to paste some text. The text appears in the box just fine. Then I leave the Edit box with the tab key or the mouse and the pasted text disappears. It doesn't happen when I enter the text with the keyboard or if there's already text in the field.

This is strange. I am interested to know if after you have pasted the text into the box and before it dissappears, if the editbox.value property reflects the pasted in text...
