56342 - copy large text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Thao Tran]

In Gnome, copying and pasting long text files does not work.  Apparently the
files are too large for xclipboard to copy.

Please see test case below:

Test Case Description for copy-large-text.

Purpose:  Determine whether extremely large text blocks can be copied from web
pages.

 Steps/Description:
                                       For each of the below-linked text pages:
                                       1. View the page.
                                       2. Select all of the text.
                                       3. From the Edit menu, select Copy.
                                       4. View the System Clipboard (or copy it
into a copy/paste enabled text editor, such as BBEdit or WordPad)


Expected Results:  The text should be successfully copied, and displayed in its
entirety in the System Clipboard (or within the attempted application).

this seems to be a bug in solaris, not mozilla. could you file this on sun's
internal bug system?

I am still seeing the problem, but it looks like it is a Solaris bug and not a
Mozilla one.  Please close the bug.  Thanks.
