eli, were you able to repro this on linux (eg, you can use gimp or xv for fiddling w/image content)? just wondering if this is specific only to mac...
I think the problem is actually that the Edit menu items aren't being udpated at the correct time. If, after copying the PICT, you click into page content, then back in the url bar, you'll see that paste is then disabled properly. Even so, this bug should stay open for that.

On Linux, it keeps content of the last text selection and pastes it into the text field. Since Linux has a more complicated clipboard model and bugs that could be triggering this problem, I've left a note in 24926, and will dig further if it's still an issue after that one is fixed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One day I'll actually think of an original bug report. ;) [Note to self: please verify 32712 when this bug is fixed.]
