Description

ve.ce.Surface.js only binds to paste; possibly it also needs to bind to beforepaste to work in modern MSIE too?

Not needed in IE11, at least.

Probably going to open a few bugs about this, but this looked like it might be relevant.

I was testing pasting from a Word document to MSIE 11 and came up against the following error on paste:

ve.dm.LinearData.static.getType = function(item){
 return this.isCloseElementData(item) ? item.type.slice(1) : item.type;
};

Unable to get property 'type' of undefined or null reference

When pasting from FF to IE the header on this page ("The migration from Bugzilla to Phabricator..."), only the non-hyperlinked text ends up pasted so you end up with ". For a smooth migration of your data, and add your Bugzilla email address in Phabricator by now!" (FF to FF and FF to Chrome copies the plain text representation of the hypertext.)
