Build: 1999120808-M12
OS: RH6.0

On the mail compose window, the menu items for Edit| Cut/Copy/Paste
are greyed out. This problem exists both on HTML format and plain text
format window. Since the short cut for Cut/Copy/Paste is not working.
this problem slows down the testing.

Cut/Copy/Paste menu items works fine on the Composer.
Severity: major → normal
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: M13
on linux, the short cut for cut/copy/paste are now alt-x/alt-c/alt-v. And they are working in message compose.
However, we discoverd some problem in plain text mode or in the recipient or subject field: the data copied contains
some HTML wrapped stuff (seth is filing a bug about it).

As you can use the keyboard, I've changed the severity to normal. Menu are coming soon...
Severity: normal → blocker
Not sure this bug is dogfood or not...but I nominate this bug for [blocker]....
Lisa, how do you think?
Severity: blocker → major
I don't think this is a blocker.
Can you copy/paste with ALT+C and ALT+P as a workaround?
If we can't even do that, then, it's a big problem for
international since that really prevents us from working with
different language data.
alt-c and alt-v work in the html compose window (body and recipient fields).

Summary: Cut/Copy/Paste menu are disabled → Cut/Copy/Paste menu are disabled; keyboard shortcuts work
plaintext keyboard shortcuts also work,
menu items greyed out just like html version.
adding keyboard hint to summary
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
Not enough time for it, move to M14
