#12806: WebPositive appends clipboard mimetype to URLs pasted into Facebook

-----------------------------+------------------------------
 Facebook has some really nasty Javascript.

 Twice today I've had an article at http://soylentnews.org/ in one tab,
 then Alt-C'ed to copy its URL to the clipboard, then pasted that URL into
 my Facebook status.

 The text "application/x-vnd.Be_textarray" (or something like that) was
 appended to the URL.

 To compound the problem, backspacing over the mimetype is of no use as
 Facebook caches the URL as originally pasted.  Clicking on the preview
 shown at the bottom of my status gets a page that just says "Error".
