Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 An object that is cut (using either CTRL+C or the contextual menu) can be pasted several times - cut acts as though copy was performed. Reproducible:always Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Library 2. Select a folder and use the Cut option 3. Paste it in several locations Actual results: - the object can be pasted several time Expected results: - the object can be pasted just once
Issue is present ever since Firefox 3.6.16

I think this happened forever, not only from 3.6. Cut has a series of problems that should be solved, it was indeed implemented as "copy to clipboard and delete" for lack of time in the beginning.

Well, Windows Explorer allows to paste just once after a cut, and it seems to make sense. I'm not sure about OS X or Linux. Text handling is different as you said, but I guess that in this case the filemanager behavior is more consistent with the Library experience.
