Pasting with the mouse between tabs does not work (anymore)

[Mark Anderson]

This is an upstream bug. I'm not sure it's even really a bug. I also have a
trackpad. I would like to help George Nachman with it if I could reproduce
it, but as I also do not have a mouse, I cannot.

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52078 should be closed as wontfix.
