This is intentional, to avoid exposing passwords (which would
otherwise be in plain text in the html source).

Cutting the objects does not remove them, it merely places
a reference to them on your clipboard. The objects should not
seem to disappear - you haven't done anything with them yet.
For comparison, look at Windows: you 'cut' objects in the
explorer and it just gives you a visual clue by making the
icons somewhat translucent. I suppose we could give a (less
fancy) visual clue in the UI, but they should not disappear.

You could add a feature request to the collector for that if
you like.

Thats a bug that is fixed for 2.3.1.

Also fixed in CVS and for 2.3.1.
