Any browser should have a simple tool for clearing a particular text=20
input area (which is what this is about). E.g. on Windows, click on the=20
area and enter Ctrl+A Ctrl+X. Or just Ctrl+A if the next operation is=20
pasting something there and typing something there.

You can normally do this in a simple and fast manner, possibly faster=20
than by clicking on a destruction button.

No, it would not. A =93clear button=94 is really a destruction button tha=
t=20
irrevocably removes all data entered by the user in the form. (This=20
would include any non-default settings for the dropdowns.)

Even though people mostly paste text in the area, they may type it (and=20
intend to copy and paste it if it validates). Wiping out all the input=20
when you accidentally hit a destruction button is very frustrating.
