141971 - Cut & Paste Not Working In Mail Front End

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 79880

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[davidrenshaw]

I am running Release Candidate 1 of Mozilla (build 2002041711) and cannot get
cut & paste to work properly in mail.

If I copy text from another application and try and paste it into the message
text in mail the paste option is available but if I select it no text is pasted
into the message body. Cannot paste using ctrl+v either. If I place the cursor
into any other field (i.e. to, subject, etc.) I can paste the text into the
field with no problem. Just cannot paste into message body.

If I type text into the message body, select it and copy it I can paste this
text into the body with no problem. Just seems to be text copied from an
external window that cannot be pasted into the mail body.

A similar think happened to me: I tried to copy some text from Mozilla browser
and paste it to the body of the message. It did not paste. I tried to paste it
to the Subject field and Recipient field and it pasted OK. I tried to paste to
other applications (Notepad, Word) and it worked OK.
When I copied another text and paste it to the body it worked OK.

Then I tried to find out what was the HTML code for the table that it didn't paste.
This here is the code that can not be pasted to a new message if opened and
copied from Mozilla browser.

----- START ---
<span class="m1">
<table width="160" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#999999"><td><table width="158" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td colspan="2"><a href="/3907">text</a></td></tr>

<tr valign="top"><td>text</td><td>text</td></tr>
</table></td></tr>
</table>
</span><br />
----- END ---

I am using Mozilla 1.1 alpha (2002061104) on Win98.
