I'd been meaning to file a bug report about this 'new' behaviour, since experiencing it with Evolution 2.30 in Fedora 13. I just don't get why adding this feature should override the normal behaviour of pasting into a message? Ctrl-V is paste, not paste URL as an attachment. Shift-Ctrl-V is not a solution; in what sense is a URL a quote? IMHO, the new behaviour should only be triggered if the focus is on the Attachment Bar, otherwise Ctrl-V retains it's usual meaning and the clipboard contents get pasted into the message body as previous.
