I *think* the problem is that there is a note in the text field saying 
"paste your url here", and when you focus the text field, that note gets 
selected which, on some platforms, replaces the paste buffer with "paste 
your url here", and in any case breaks pasting because you would have to 
delete it first. If the message "paste your url here" becomes a label 
above the text box, and the box remains empty, pasting should be a 
no-brainer.

Yeah, let's go for the poorer ui and keep the bad usability ,-)
