Subject: Lag on EditBox paste
   If you try to paste a really long text into a editbox, you will expirience quite a delay. UI freezes, and the longer the text the longer it freezes. On my machine 40000 letter text paste freezes WoW for about 45 seconds. Here is how you test it:

You do /script HelpFrameOpenTicketText:SetMaxLetters(60000) and then you paste, say 50000 letter text into GM Ticket description editbox. (Press report verbal harrasment or any other button that displays this editbox) It hangs around a minute on paste(depending on you spec). Optionally you can call /script HelpFrameOpenTicketText:SetScript("OnTextChanged",nil) and /script HelpFrameOpenTicketText:SetScript("OnCursorChanged",nil) beforehand, but it doesn't change things much.

So my question more or less is there something that I'm missing, and if not, can it be fixed? Thank you in advance.

   The editbox cut/paste code is only meant for small amounts of text.
