My vote for a good paste location:

I would like to control, where pasted objects go.

What if the pasted object[s] would hang at the mouse cursor the way new
objects created with Ctrl-[1234] do? One could then place them where
appropriate. The problem with pasting in PD is, that PD doesn't have a
"real" cursor like text or audiofile editors have. And while text 
editors with their cursors have a natural place for paste inserts, PD
doesn't have one.

To me the problem with the current solution is not only, that it is possible 
to paste outside of the visible area, but more this: If I click into the window 
after an unvisible paste, I unintendetly unselect the pasted object[s], which
could lead to a mess, if the pasted objects lay over objects, that were already 
in the window. 

I hope it is understandable, what I'm trying to say...
