Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0.2-2
Severity: normal
When composing mail, it is not possible to paste text from the X
clipboard using the Ctrl-V shortcut; one has to use the middle mouse
button. I find this rather strange, especially because in the other
direction things work, i.e. Ctrl-C and Ctrl-X will put the selected
text on the X clipboard.

It seems I did not fully understand the mechanisms of Copy & Paste under
X, especially the differences between clipboard and primary selection,
when I filed this bug report. Now that I've read a good document¹ on
it, I do.
If there's a bug here, it is in Emacs who does not use the clipboard by
default (but can be configured to do so).
Closing the bug as PEBKAC, sorry for the noise.
