Right click doesn't bring up a menu.  I've tried pasting using center 
click and using cntrl-v.  I've also tried pasting using the menu.  Paste 
is not grayed out.  It just doesn't work.  

Can you try pasting into the password prompt on guru.com and see if it 
works?  Does it work for you?  Maybe there is just some weirdness in the 
site that is tickling a bug in the browser?  

Thanks
