Before I do anything "risky" with forms I copy the text AND paste it somewhere else to confirm I really copied it. Only then do I take the next action, and still I get burned all the time by crap like this one way or another.

I usually just start from typing it up in emacs, then copy paste it to the fussy little form. Anything over six words, it probably saves me time, even if nothing was going to go wrong. And then... Just as you said.
