The description for DataTransfer.setData [1] says: "Calling setData()
from a paste event handler must not modify the data that is inserted,
and must not modify the data on the clipboard."
That second phrase is very confusing. Isn't it the objective of
listening to cut/copy events, to possibly prevent the default action and
set the data calling setData, therefore changing clipboard contents ?
Yes, but not *paste* events. Pasting should never alter the data on the
clipboard. How can I phrase it more clearly?
