147600 - copy won't copy after window loses focus

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[soco]

Select some text in a Mozilla window. change focus to another window. select
something else. give the mozilla window focus again -- the selection should
still be selected, but greyed. press ctrl+c to copy it. go to another window and
attempt to paste it. it will paste the item from the other window. mozilla will
not copy once the window has lost focus even if you give it focus again and the
selection still exists (although greyed). you have to reselect the text again in
order to copy it.

Reporter, please use the Bugzilla helper when you file a bug.

Try this problem again on a new build. You can download an updated nightly build
from 

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe

Close Mozilla and run that program. Running a nightly build can be a little
risky. Please back up your Mozilla data first, including your bookmarks. If
you'd like, you could wait for 1.0, the next milestone release. That will
probably be released within a short period.
