There are numerious places where if you copy and paste text into a textarea the form input does not recognize there is data there.   I discoved that you have to press enter, or enter a space or period or anything at all after the copy and paste in order for the form input to see the data.   Sometimes i will even put a period and then remove it, just as long as there is some focus "activity" on the textarea.   

I am curious if these textareas should have an onblur this.value = this.value or if there is something else that can be done.  This is pretty much a global issue at least from my experience.

thanks
