Thanks for your reply.

oddly the paste command works well although returns that error!
how should I manage the contents of tuple?

move_cursor_to_end() move the cursor at the end of the current line!.
the result doesnt change if I comment out it!
if in my code I don't use the fromMimeData method, paste and drag/frop
event does work  as expected!
But I need it to execute command when multi-line text is dropped or pasted!
