I changed the summary  
** the problem is that after copying text and trying to right click to copy it 
into composer you cannot do so but if you crtl v it pastes just fine
Summary: 20011101 Netscape6/6.1b1 → cannot right click in composer to paste info copied
** I also found out that you cannot right click to do anything (i.e. paste, 
delete,copy,etc.) 
I see this on W2k build 2001110103 and linux build 2001110112, marking new and
OS all for now, need to check Mac but having issues :-(

Is bug 108095 a DUP of this bug ?

I was testing and if you have change the text style then highlight the text 
then right click and choose discontinue text styles that works as well as the 
create link option, I have found those to work.
nothing has changed in Compose code -- this must a more general XPFE/XUL problem.
Sarah, do you know anything about this on the XPFE/XUL side?
Depends on: 103064
assigning to Ben because he's working on bug 103064 which might have caused
context menu items to break in composer.

I don't actually think this was related to my changes. I downloaded a 10/28 
build (before my context menu changes) and it exhibits this problem. 

Also, this problem is limited to the edit commands (undo, copy, paste, cut, 
select all, etc), not the other ones.
Summary: none of the right click menu items work → edit commands in context menus don't work

Marking nsbeta1+ per syd. Need to fix for composer usability.

Tested in WIN 2K with build# 20011109

I'm not entirely sure if this is a direct result of the same bug but it seems
plausible.  The context menus are still now working, and they don't even appear
in the HTML source view.  You can right click on text in there and the menu
doesn't even display.  Seems there might be a problem with context menus in
general and not just their editing commands. 

Context menus in HTML Source view is a totally different issue (can't find bug
offhand).
That is a text area and context menus aren't implemented for that.

I'll investigate a little and see where things are going amiss

This one about context menu in Browser, Composer - Paste does not work in Composer.
Bug 107635 is about context menu in Mail, Message Body - Copy menu item.
No, these are in fact the same bug.
