Comment 11 for bug 550158

Can you do some extra steps?

Copy/Cut a note and paste it. I assume you will get is a blank note.
Click on the blank note and you will get a cursor to put your entry. If you write *anything* by mistake, the old data will be overwritten.
Instead of clicking on the blank (newly pasted) note, just quit basket and restart it. Now you will see that the blank note was not actually blank but it contained the pasted data.

Can you check those possibilities?
