Bug Description

1. Start evolution
2. Open a new mail
3. Select a text from somewhere
4. Copy/cut the text with Ctrl+c or Ctrl+x
5. Put marker i To- or Cc-field in the email you are composing
6. Press Ctrl+v to paste

The text should be inserted in the field. Instead it is inserted in the message
field.

1. Write text in to the To- or Cc-field
2. Select the text
3. Copy/cut the text with Ctrl+c or Ctrl+x
4. Paste the text somewhere else with Ctrl+v

The text should be inserted where you want it. This does not happen.

Workaround for both problems is to use middle click.

This is evolution-2.1.5-0ubuntu1.

On my system, the middleclick cache thing doesn't work either for the to: and
cc: fields. It doesn't cut the text or paste it in the message body either. It
simply doesn't do anything.
