50412 - can't paste with middle button in composers

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 50606

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

noticed yesterday and it's still present in linux 2000082513:

Selecting text in third party app and then trying to paste into mail-compose or
composer with middle mouse-button: nothing is pasted.

Perhaps related:
When these editors get started, a couple of "new" messages appear in console:
failed to get command manager number 3
failed to get command manager number 2

This one is still alive in build 2000-082908.

Is it possible you're seeing the other bug (probably assigned to saari, I don't
have the number), that you have to click in the content area to set focus before
you can do much of anything in composer?

I saw this happen the first time I tried, but then when I clicked in the content
area, after that I've been able to paste from rxvt, emacs, and NS 4.7.  So I'm
guessing the problem is the lack of focus, not a problem with
middle-mouse-paste.

i have clicked once, twice and thrice.

Seems I can paste from third party applications that have a specific "copy"
feature. Not with middle button (still) but with "Edit/paste".

Pav, who owns linux clipboard, should in on this.  Pav, do you see this?  I
don't (at least, not after first clicking in the editor content area).

this works here too.  just a guess, try applying the latest patch on bug 50606
and see if this fixes your problem.

Comment 8

[R.K.Aa.]

Didn't apply patch - saw it was checked in and pasting now works again.
Build 2000-083008.
Resolving this as dup of 50606 just for the record.
