165448 - Clipboard copy puts garbage into clipboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 164940

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David Hagood]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020827

Attempting to mark data and copy into the clipboard puts garbage in the
clipboard: For example, marking this text, or the text just above it, doing a
CTRL-C and then trying to paste into any other app results in garbage.

This also happens when doing a select and middle-mouse click.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Highlight some text.
2. Either middle mouse click paste, or CTRL-C copy and CTRL-V paste into ANY app
(not just Mozilla).
3.

Actual Results:  
Garbage from the paste: e.g. copying the preceding text and pasting below gives:
�����������

Expected Results:  
Should have pasted "Garbage from the paste:" rather than garbage.

This did not happen with the builds from earlier this month (first half).
