129149 - copy command on context menu disabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46485

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Robert J. Young]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

When text is highlighted in a newly created message viewing window, the Copy
command on the context (popup) menu is visible, but not active.  The copy
command in the main window menu works.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click on message to see in window
2. Highlight some text
3. Right-click

Actual Results:  Copy command in context (popup) menu will be visible, but
inactive (greyed out; can't click on it)

Expected Results:  When text is highlighted, the context menu should allow it to
be copied to the clipboard.


Sometimes the problem doesn't occur -- but I haven't figured out why yet.

We had this problem and it is fixed. I've just checked this - works.
My steps: Right click on the selected text from the Message Body pane. From the
Context menu select 'Copy'. Now Ctrl+E to Edit this message and use Paste. I
checked Paste from the Context menu and Ctrl+V - both work. Today's build.
I noticed that your build is from beginning of February. Would you please check
the recent build?
In your steps: "a newly created message viewing window" - means Compose window
or Message Body pane from 3-pane window? 'Copy'in Compose Context menu also works.
