Description Joachim Noreiko 2006-07-31 21:15:17 UTC 
If I select the text "bar", I can't use drag and drop to move or copy it to its endpoint.
For example, I can't use drag and drop copy to turn "bar" into "barbar".

This behaviour is desirable when copying entire lines and paragraphs with the final newline as part of the selection. For example, working with DocBook, I want to duplicate an entire <listitem> block.

This is not entirely trivial to implement, since we need to preserve the drop-into-selection-to-replace behaviour.
