Hash: SHA1

This is regarding Mozilla 0.9.9 2002031104 using Windows NT 4.0 SP6a,
with full post SP6a fixes/HotFixes applied.

If one selectes a "part" of the URL address in the URL bar, and then
tries to either copy, paste or cut from the URL bar via the mouse
right click the entire URL text is reselected as a result of the
right mouse button click.  Therefore one cannot copy, paste or cut a
subset of the URL.

If one uses the keyboard (i.e. ctrl-c, ctrl-v) to copy and paste text
about, in or out of the URL  bar, that works as expected.  Hence the
right mouse click functionality is at issue.

Comment 2

[Kathleen :Brade]

this sounds like a duplicate bug to me...

do you need to be in urlbar or can you see same problem with selection in the
content area of a browser window (select some text on a page and then right
click to copy/paste)?

[e-mail],

Based on my current and constant use of Mozilla 0.9.9-2002031104 the
problem I described is strictly related to the Location/Address/URL
bar.  There are otehr cut and paste issues I have since discovered,
but they are quite different in nature and are clearly seperate
issues.  I have not had chance to search the bugs yet to see if there
are bugs open on the other issues, but I suspect there are alreay
open bugs.

[e-mail],

Yes I would say it is a duplicate bug, except for one small detail. 
The current bug system configuration does not allow one to group
Windows bugs together nor has it been confirmed that the bug exists
in the other Windows OS's.  Hence this bug would need to stand as
open unless of course it is determined the issue goes beyond the the
"Windows" OS family to all platforms.  I have reviewed all the
"duplicate" bug entries and I find so far no bugs reported for
Windows ME, Windows 95, Windows 3.51 and Windows 3.1, and I found one
bug reported for Mac.

Hard call at moment, but I suggest the "base" bug be changed to
"Platform" of "All" and "OS" of "All" to force retesting of all
platforms once this bug is corrected.  If you are agreeable to to the
suggestion for "Platform" and "OS" then I be quite agreeable to have
this bug closed as a duplicate of the "base" bug so changed to
reflect the suggestion.

Log "Status" changed from "Resolved" to "Open".
