153145 - can't copy selected text.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Judson Valeski]

When viewing a mail message (using yesterday's trunk build) and selecting text,
I cannot copy the selected text either via context menu, menu bar->Edit, or ctrl-c.

expected results are that I can copy selected text.

jag, isn't this the thing you were seeing with events being screwed up by the
onscroll stuff?

Comment 2

Jud, can you see if it's fixed in more recent builds?

Comment 3

[Judson Valeski]

I hate to say it, but, using the latest Netscape 7.0/1.0 branch build I'm seeing
this in browser windows too (tabbed browser wins to be precise). To get out of
this state, if I minimize all windows, then go back to the selected text, all is
well.

this should probably get re-assigned out of mail. It's clearly a cross
application bug since Jud can reproduce it in the browser. Not sure who owns
that or what component we should assign it to yet.

[jag (Peter Annema)]

I guess this isn't the onscroll thing then.

drag and drop copy and middle click copy of selected text are also affected.

I now see this all the time and with various builds (both Seamonkey and
Firefox). Copy/Cut is fine for the first few minutes afer I open the browser,
but then stops working afterwords. I wonder if it has anything to do with SP2
for WinXP or with another recent non-Mozilla-related installation...

The same by me on Firefox 1.5, but registered already on 1.07. WinXP (SP2). Could not cut/copy neither by CTRL+C nor by menu item.
