Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a simple application with a textArea.
2. Register an event listener for the Event.paste event.
3. run the app, right-click on the textArea, choose Paste from the context menu.

Actual Results:
The event handler for the Paste event does not get called.

Expected Results:
I expect the TextArea to behave like other InteractiveObjects and dispatch the paste event.

I've attached a smiple mxml application to demonstrate the problem. The app is compiled targeting Flash Player 10.
