Re: did someone manage to get around this issue rather than using IE.
Firefox.
But I know that is not what you meant :) I don't know a way to paste to Chrome.
In my opinion, for users, actually IE is fast enough and has the most features.
For developers where speed is everything Chrome is the best because its the fastest.
FF is in the middle. Probably faster than IE, but not as many features, but more features than Chrome.
