Yes, that's the problem I was trying to solve in the patch at
the bottom of my last email, though clearly my way didn't work.

I added that line (using ::SendMessage() for pasting), but it

but that's because UponPaste() returns even earlier and the
event is skipped. I think I'd better wait and see what you
come up with.
