Description
I am trying to create a "paste" button for a dijit.form.SimpleTextarea? widget, and I am running into an issue with pasting text in Internet Explorer 8.
When I paste text that has newline characters ("\n"), the text pastes fine, but then when I try to overwrite text with another paste, the entire text area is cleared and replaced with the text I am pasting.
I've confirmed that this issue does not occur when I use a regular textarea.
The four attached files demonstrate the issue, using dojo version 1.6 and 1.7.

Forgot to add one thing: it appears that the text is being re-selected when I click on one of the buttons, overriding my previous selection. Again, this doesn't happen when I use a regular textarea.

The native textarea has the same behavior is you add onblur='this.value=this.value'. I'm not sure how to workaround this. Probably the selection should be cleared onblur but that would defeat what you are trying to do.
